JAKARTA - Pete Townshend hinted that The Who is likely to return to an extensive farewell tour.

"For me, there's one thing The Who can do, and it's the last tour where we play in every region in the world and then crawl towards death," Pete Townshend said during a recent interview with the New York Times.

Townshend's statement this time adds a new intrigue into The Who's next move. At the end of 2023, the guitarist suggested that he and vocalist Roger Daltrey need to gather and agree on a plan.

"I think it's time for Roger and I to go to lunch and talk about what happened next," Townshend said.

Because (the termination of the last tour of 2023) shouldn't feel like the end of everything, but feels like the end of an era.

Previously, Townshend also stated that plans for future The Who tours depend on what makes it possible, what is profitable, and what is fun.

"I don't want to be like one of those people who died on the tour," he told Rolling Stone.

"Roger thinks he wants to sing until he falls. It's not my philosophy of life. There are other things I want to do, I still want to do, and I will. I hope I will live long enough to do it."

Furthermore, Townshend admits that his final tour for The Who did not discuss inheritance, but more about finance.

"I didn't get much attention when performing with The Who. To be honest, I went on tour for money. My idea of an ordinary lifestyle was quite high," concluded Pete Townshend.
