The Who’s Roger Daltrey Reflects on Death: ‘I’m Ready to Go at Any Time’

The Who lead singer Roger Daltrey shared in a new interview that he has made his peace with death and is "ready to go at any time" since he has already made his "dreams come true."

The Who lead singer, 79, revealed in a new interview with The Times, that he has thought about his own death and legacy — especially after he became seriously ill with viral meningitis in 2015 — and he’s “ready” for what comes next. The musician also noted that he thought TV presenter Esther Rantzen, who has stage 4 lung cancer, was “incredibly brave to raise the subject” of assisted dying after she joined the nonprofit organization Dignitas, which provides physician-assisted deaths to terminally ill patients. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who perform onstage at Madison Square Garden in May 2022 in New York City.
