Rock band The Who have announced they are retiring from touring after 60 years after one last set of dates. Pete Townshend said at a London press conference to announce the tour: “Everyone needs to know the truth…. I can’t lie…. I am not crazy about touring”.
They are playing 16 shows in North America, and insiders hope they will later come to Europe, including dates in the UK. The show is called The Song Is Over, which is also the name of their new single. Speaking on video link, Roger Daltrey added: “It will have to come to an end one day”.
He said: “IPete (Townshend) is still playing great guitar, the music’s still got the vitality that suits it, because it’s something about the way Pete’s music is written, the way it’s shaped, the sentiment behind it, it doesn’t seem to age like a lot of rock music does”. Roger added: “Us out there performing for the last time is a thank you for fans”.
