Actually, The WHO could easily have her big career lasting for six decades. Instead, there are always cocks fights between the founding members Roger Daltrey (81) and Pete Townshend (80).
The Who: “Flogging a Dead Horse”?
After the two were on stage in the Royal Albert Hall at the Royal Albert Hall at a charity concert for the “Teenage Cancer Trust”, small poison arrows are now sent in different media. The main topic is – once again – the farewell tour that has been several times.
Daltrey counters hard
In conversation with the UK weekly magazine “Sunday People”, thoughtful tones. The WHO would now be only a shell. Especially against the background of the two deceased original members of the band. Daltrey used the British phrase “Flogging a Dead Horse” for the WHO-Revival. So put energy into a failed thing.
Daltry promptly returned in the “Daily Mail”. He also used a meaning for this. “I don’t want to go on tour with The WHO, at the age of 81, with someone who doesn’t want to be really committed.” He wouldn’t have time for half -hearted things. “But, you know, Erevery Dog Has it’s time, and it was a wonderful journey overall.” Everything has his time.
The statements sound strangely cranky, as the “Farewell Tour” by North America is still announced on the official website of The WHO under the motto “The Song Is Over”. Start is scheduled to be in Sunrise on August 16, 2025, then we continue to New York’s industrial suburb of Newark. So far, one did not want to comment on another tour “leg” in Great Britain and Europe.
Townshend would like to go to the studio again
This yes-no-echo loop in the WHO camp is reminiscent of Townshend earlier entries that he would no longer love to occur, since it would not fill in his soul: “Everyone in this room knows the truth, so it would be pointless if I was lying. I have never been really crazy about touring-but if I was on stage, he was more different at a press conference in London to record.
Conversely, it looks like the “very last album”. Townshend would like to go to the studio again. But here is Daltrey the horse that stands across the stable. “What’s the point? What is the meaning of records?” He asked in 2023 in the interview of the “NME”. “We released the album” WHO “four years ago and it didn’t work. Great record, but nowadays there is no longer any interest in new music. People want to listen to the old music. I don’t know why, but that’s how it is. “
