During The Who‘s recent two-night stand at London’s Royal Albert Hall, frontman Roger Daltrey gave the audience an update about his current health status. “The joys of getting old mean you go deaf. I also now have got the joy of going blind,” the 81-year-old singer said. “Fortunately I still have my voice, because then I’ll have a full Tommy.” The Who’s performances were part of the Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concert series, and the rock legends showcased their new stripped-down band, delivering the live debut of “The Song Is Over” and the revival of “Love Ain’t For Keeping” after 21 years of going unplayed. Even with his vision and hearing issues, Daltry is set to kick off his next solo tour in Brighton, England, on April 20, wrapping up the run on August 8 in Margate, England. The Who, meanwhile, have two shows scheduled in Italy on July 20 and 22. (Rolling Stone)
