Roger Daltrey And Pete Townshend Reveal The Possibility Of The Who Staying Performed After The Separation Tour In The US
JAKARTA - Roger Daltrey (vocals) and Pete Townshend (guitar) are open to the possibility of The Who appearing on another stage after finishing their final farewell tour.
Meanwhile, the band, which was formed in London, England in 1964, was in the US to start the farewell tour titled The Song Is Over.
This tour is a tribute to their song with a similar title released in 1971. Later there will be 16 shows that will be passed by Daltrey and Townshend,
Despite being called a farewell tour, Daltrey and Townshend still doubt whether they really won't perform anymore. The reason, The Who has played a lot of farewell tours over the years.
"Did you say we deceived the public? In fact, we are willing to deceive them. That's what we've been doing our whole life. Why stop?" said Townshend jokingly, when asked in an interview with The New York Times recently.
"Everything is in Roger's hands. If we don't renew the contract, will we violate the contract? Will we be deceived if we come back and play in all the important places we haven't registered, like Duluth," he added.
The guitarist stated that he was old enough and he didn't want to be far from what he loved. For him, this farewell tour is expected to really be a farewell tour.

"I've been 80 years, I don't like being away from my family, studios, dogs and friends. I don't want to spend the next five years waiting for death suddenly on stage," he said. The end of this tour can give Roger and I allow myself not to call each other again. I hope that doesn't happen."
In addition, Daltrey said, the possibility of The Who to appear on stage is still open, but it is difficult to imagine the full tour in the future.
"We will not give up as a band. We will probably do some residence. Hopefully, Pete and I will not stop making music," said Daltrey.
The vocalist also shared his health problems and said he was nervous about getting to the end of the tour right now, because he had the potential to be seriously ill.
During The Who's show at the Royal Albert Hall in the spring, which was held for the Teenage Cancer Trust, Townshend also spoke about his visual impairment.
