Declining health could force The Who off stage

By | Published on Friday 30 April 2010

Roger Daltrey has said The Who’s Royal Albert Hall show in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust last month may have been their last, as various health issues, including Pete Townshend’s worsening hearing, become more and more significant.

Daltrey told Uncut: “If carrying on is going to mean Pete going deaf, let’s stop now. Entering old age in a silent world – nothing is worth that.That [Royal Albert Hall show] might have been the last gig. I honestly don’t know. We’re trying to deal with issues that we have never dealt with before.Our bodies are beginning to give up on us. I’ve had voice problems in the past year that I’ve managed to sort out and I’m really enjoying singing again but you have to be realistic – I am 66 years old”.
