![]() It's also clear that live music is an important part of all our lives, something to free us from the groundhog days that life has become. It's important to get our road crew working again, without these guys the halls would go silent. I look forward to having closer contact with my audience than festivals and arenas allow. On this tour I want to take the audience on a musical journey through my career as a singer, with a show of songs and sounds that explores and surprises. "Throughout my life I have sung with so many great musicians, from the heavy rock of The Who and Wilko Jonson, to the Irish lilt of The Chieftains. “The truth is singers need to sing,” says Daltrey. I’ve always promised myself and my audience that I would never want to go out there and be a mediocre singer.” “If I don’t sing between now and then, I don’t know whether I will be able to do it then. “I’ve got to sing between now and when the Who are next going out, which is the end of next March and April,” he insisted. I never want to see the bloody thing again! I’m sorry, but you’ve got to let this stuff go.” They own the catalog.” He added: “I feel like a painter who’s finished a painting. You don’t need us to do that.”Īsked about an extended reissue, he responded: “I don’t really know. Why do that? Go and play the record and get stoned or whatever you wish and have a good time! That’s a way to celebrate. The show we’ve got with the orchestra is fantastic, and the Who’s catalog has so much varied stuff that makes it better than just listening to Who’s Next. Just playing albums live doesn’t do anything for me, personally. “Who’s Next is a great album, but it’s best left as a great album. “I don’t see the point,” he told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. Roger Daltrey said there was no need for the Who to mark the 50th anniversary of classic album Who’s Next by performing it live or creating a box set. ![]() “Like an artist who's performing on stage, if they never get criticized, they can die from sycophancy because how can they know where they're going unless they hit a wall and get a reflection of what they're doing? You know? So, friction is necessary, it's good." There's creative friction, which is healthy, you’ve got to have that. "I'll see him when I see him, that space between us doesn't exist because our brains are somewhere else.And when we get together, it's that creative thing that will still be there, I'm confident that it will be."ĭaltrey said: " People don't quite understand our relationship. "Pete, as the pressure of writing hit and he started to make money – and obviously as he was the writer he was making lots of money – sadly the pressure got to him and he got hooked on the booze and his Doctor Jekyll started coming out." All I know is we won't see each other now probably until Spring. Speaking to BBC Radio, he said: "We have completely different lives, but you know, who knows where it will go…? I don't know where it will go in the future. ![]() The Who Was I? tour will visit 13 UK cities towards the end of 2021, kicking off in Birmingham on November 7 and climaxing in Bournemouth on December 2 Roger Daltrey has announced a UK tour for November.
