Pete Townshend about saying goodbye: emotional words about the last tour
“Well, all good things have to end,” said Pete Townshend in an explanation. “It is a moving moment. For me it was always something incredible to play in front of the American and Canadian audience.
The story with the American audience began in 1967
The warmth and enthusiasm of this audience began in 1967 with hippies, which sat on their ceilings, smoked grass and listened intensively and intensively. Music was everywhere. We all felt the same. Today Roger and I still wear the banner for the late Keith Moon and John. And of course for all of our long-standing WHO fans.
“I have to say that the trip was not always pleasant for me. But mostly simply: the best job I could ever have,” he adds. “I keep coming back. Every time I meet new fans and feel new energy. Roger and I are in a good shape despite our age. And I want to stand up for this loving farewell to all our loyal fans with full strength. And hopefully also from new fans who may have to see what they have missed in the past 57 years. This tour is about nice memories, love and laugh.”
Roger Daltrey about the USA: gratitude and personal insights
Further dates of the tour have not yet been announced. But at some point it will probably also lead to overseas. For the time being, the focus is on North America. “The warmth of the American audience has inspired me over the years and reflects the feeling that I had when I heard the first rock plates on the radio,” says Roger Daltrey in an explanation.
“America has always been great for me. The cultural differences were very shaped. This was the land of unlimited possibilities. It is not easy to end such a big part of my life as the tours with The Who. Thank you for being there for us. And we look forward to seeing you one last time.”

As long-standing WHO fans remember, this is not their first farewell tour. The first took place in 1982. “I was not who said: ‘This is the last tour'”, Explained townshend opposite Rolling Stone At the beginning of the year. “That was the manager of The Who. And he did it because it was a ‘ka-ching’ moment. We had sold out an arena tour. It was not particularly smart. I should have really protested. But I didn’t do it. But I had the feeling that we could say: ‘I don’t care what the manager says. Want to go tour, then we do that too. ‘ It just took a long time. “
At that time they were all in the mid -thirties. Townshend and Daltrey will both be over eighty when this tour begins. Which significantly increases the likelihood that it will exist. However, Dead and Co. recently proved that bands can continue to live after farewell tours. For example, with special appearances in places such as Sphere.
