His profile is PP so no one can add any parents or other relatives to the madman drummer (and the Beach Boys #1 fan).

I see from his biography that "Moon took lessons from one of the loudest contemporary drummers, Screaming Lord Sutch's Carlo Little". I lived two doors down from Sutch fortunately he stopped practicing in his garage and started practicing at Ginger Baker's house about half a mile away - that was soundproofed.

The Wikipedia article names Moon's parents and the BMD registry shows potential siblings:

Births Sep 1946  Moon  Keith J  Hopley  Willesden
Births Jun 1949   MOON  Linda M  HOPLEY  Willesden
Births Jun 1958   MOON  Lesley A  HOPLEY  Willesden
