Pete Townshend Now Says There Will Not Be a Who Farewell Tour: ‘I Was Being Sarcastic’


Although Pete Townshend recently told the New York Times that a Who farewell tour was coming, he now says he was 'being sarcastic.'

“It feels to me like there’s one thing the Who can do, and that’s a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die,” he told the Times in an interview published last month. However, when asked about that comment during an interview with Sound Up!’s Mark Goodman and Alan Light, he replied, “I’m not doing a farewell tour,” adding, “I think I was being sarcastic about it.” “Sound Up!” is hosted by former MTV VJ Mark Goodman and top music journalist Alan Light (both formerly of SiriusXM’s “Crosstalk”), is produced by Roger Coletti and distributed by Revolver Podcasts.
