The Who Frontman Roger Daltrey Says He’s Going Blind & Deaf
Roger Daltrey, lead singer for The Who, shared unfortunate medical news with a crowd of fans in London over the weekend.
The Who, which includes singer Daltrey and singer-guitarist Pete Townsend, was formed in 1964 alongside former members drummer Keith Moon, who died at 32 in 1978, and bassist John Entwistle, who died at 57 in 2002. Daltrey and Townsend have continued to tour as The Who over the years, performing the band’s classic songs such as “I Can See For Miles” and “Pinball Wizard.”
Last month, Townsend made headlines when he spoke about his past relationships with men.
While playing a show at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, Daltrey, 81, told the crowd, “The joys of getting old mean you go deaf; I also now have got the joy of going blind. Fortunately, I still have my voice because then I’ll have a full Tommy.”
