He held United Kingdom citizenship and worked primarily in the English language throughout his career. Beyond his work behind the drum kit, he also took on acting work, making him a figure who moved across more than one performance discipline. As a composer and lyricist, his contributions extended past performance alone, though the drumming role remained the one most closely tied to his public identity.\n\nDetails about his specific recordings, collaborations, and notable performances are not captured in the available record here, but his presence across multiple genres points to a working life that covered considerable musical ground. What the record does confirm is that he was active during a period when rock music was establishing many of the forms and sounds that would define it for decades. His genres — rock, hard rock, power pop, and art rock — span a range that suggests a drummer who moved between different stylistic contexts rather than staying fixed in a single corner of the music world.\n\nMoon died on 7 September 1978 in Mayfair, at the age of 32. His name appears in the Library of Congress Name Authority File under the entry \"Moon, Keith, 1946–1978,\" a formal cataloguing record that reflects the lasting documentary interest in his work and life. That institutional record, modest as it might seem, confirms that his output as a musician, composer, lyricist, and actor was considered significant enough to warrant permanent archival recognition. He was 32 years old at the time of his death, and his career, however short, produced work that has been preserved and catalogued for ongoing reference.","Born at Central Middlesex Hospital on 23 August 1946, Keith Moon spent his school years at Alperton Community School before going on to a career that would place him among the most talked-about drummers in rock music history.","keith-moon",null,[],{"quotes":15,"pagination":104},[16,24,30,36,42,48,60,71,82,93],{"id":17,"quote_text":18,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":21,"source":22,"quote_tag":23,"commentary":12},3192393,"I can’t believe that person on the television is really me.",6,false,{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":25,"quote_text":26,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":27,"source":28,"quote_tag":29,"commentary":12},3192383,"I’ve always enjoyed myself.
