Roger Daltrey rules out The Who avatar show
03 December 2024
Roger Daltrey has ruled out a The Who avatar show.
Despite Pete Townshend insisting that he would love for the band to feature in a digital concert residency similar to Abba Voyage in London, Roger said he would not be interested.
He went on: "I’ve never thought about it. I wouldn’t want to go and see it."
Roger's comments came after Pete claimed he now only tours for the money and said performing with The Who doesn't really excite him.
He told The New York Times: "It feels to me like there’s one thing The Who can do, and that’s a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die. I don’t get much of a buzz from performing with The Who. If I’m really honest, I’ve been touring for the money. My idea of an ordinary lifestyle is pretty elevated.
"The Who isn’t Daltrey and Townshend onstage at 80, pretending to be young. It’s the four of us in 1964, when we were 18 or 19. If you want to see The Who myth, wait for the avatar show. It would be good!”
And, Daltrey said he is not focusing on his legacy.
