JAKARTA - In an interview with NME, Roger Daltrey was asked about the new album The Who is expected by fans.

"What's the point? What's the point of the album? We released an album four years ago [Who, 2019], and didn't do anything. It's a good album too, but there's no interest out there for new music lately," Roger said.

"People want to hear old music. I don't know why, but that's the fact."

The vocalist then explained that The Who fan base now ranges from 80 to down much to eight years.

"We have had quite a lot of young people among our audience lately. It's quite interesting that they're back listening to our music. But the record companies, they don't do the same job as they used to," he continued.

In October 2022, The Who released a new version of the 2019 album, Who, featuring the latest version of the Beuds On One String, which was remixed by guitarist Pete Townshend as well as the acoustic song of the only live band show in 2020.

The songs on the deluxe version of Who were recorded on Kingston on Valentine's Day this year were exactly 50 years since the show The Who in Leeds became the famous Live At Leeds live album.
