Legendary rock band The Who introduced their remaining tour of North America on Thursday, saying after six a long time of constructing music, all good issues should come to finish.
Well-known for hit songs together with “Baba O’Riley,” “My Generation,” and “Behind Blue Eyes,” the band was fashioned in 1964 and made up of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon.
Lead singer Daltrey, 81, stated it was each musician’s dream within the early Sixties to make it huge within the U.S. charts.
“For The Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever,” he stated. “Musical freedom! Rock gave us a feeling of generational rebellion.”
Guitarist and songwriter Townshend, 79, the opposite surviving member of the unique lineup, stated: “Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans.”
He stated he hoped some new followers may leap in to see what they’ve been lacking for the final 57 years.
Daltrey stated the band must play traditional hits “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Baba O’Riley” and “Behind Blue Eyes”, however the remainder of the setlist was “up for grabs”.
The tour, scheduled for August and September, is known as “The Song Is Over,” after a 1971 tune that they had by no means performed reside till just a few weeks in the past.
“Roger always comes up with really great names for tours, but I think that this one is rather poignant,” Townshend advised reporters.
The duo was unable to substantiate whether or not there can be an analogous tour within the UK or Europe.
In spite of everything, even the world’s largest rockers can’t escape physician’s orders.
“I’ve been ordered by my voice specialist ‘you’ve got to have a day off after every gig and then after every three gigs you have to have two days off’”, stated Daltrey.
