Watch Pete Townshend Join ‘The Who’s Tommy’ Broadway Cast for Musical Medley

Pete Townshend appeared on 'The Tonight Show' to perform a medley from 'The Who's Tommy' Broadway revival and to discuss his career.

The Who are about to revive their 1969 rock opera Tommy on Broadway and frontman Pete Townshend joined the stage cast on The Tonight Show to perform several songs from the musical. The band invited the paper’s critic, Nick Cohen, who happened to be writing a book on a pinball champion, into the studio to hear the album. The track was composed and produced by Rachel Fuller (Townshend’s wife and sometimes collaborator) under the name Charlie Pepper, and reflects on the lack of human interaction caused by the pandemic.
