The Who's Last Tour Includes A Bay Area Stop, But Roger Daltry Fears He Won't Make It: Report

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — The Who's 81-year-old frontman says he isn't sure if he'll make it to the end of the English band's very last tour, and likely last stint in the U.S.

"Tommy" star Daltry recently cited health concerns that stem from a meningitis infection he suffered nine years ago, as well as declining sight and hearing loss.

“This is certainly the last time you will see us on tour,” the famed microphone twirling vocalist told the Times of London in an interview published Friday, Aug. 1. “It’s gruelling. In the days when I was singing Who songs for three hours a night, six nights a week, I was working harder than most footballers. As to whether we’ll play concerts again, I don’t know. The Who to me is very perplexing.”

The band, which includes founding member Pete Townshend, is expected to play what is likely to be their last Bay Area show at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on Sept. 21.

Meanwhile, Towshend has repeatedly claimed that he doesn't like touring.

“So he says until he’s out there — and he loves the money," Daltry quipped in an interview with the Times.

The Who, formed in London's mod scene in 1964, was long known for chaotic stage antics and operatic rock hits "Pinball Wizard" and "Baba O'Riley."
