The Who announce North America farewell tour dates
Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend confirmed Thursday that they will perform hits from their six-decade career during “The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour,” named after the band’s 1971 hit.
Daltrey, 81, and Townshend, two years his junior, have been one of rock's most prolific double acts, surviving the deaths of drummer Keith Moon in 1978 and bass guitarist John Entwistle in 2002. Daltrey, who said a throat specialist has told him he should have a "day off" after every gig he performs, and Townshend also revealed there are no plans at the moment for a farewell tour of the U.K. "Though Daltrey didn't write songs, he was able to channel Townsend's many and complicated moods — defiance and rage, vulnerability and desperation.Together, they forged some of rock's most defining sounds: the stuttering, sneering delivery of "My Generation," the anguished cry of "They're all wasted!"
