The Who's Pete Townshend has opened up about his thoughts on the future of the band, after they wrapped up their last tour stop in August.
In an interview with Record Collector magazine, Townshend said he and his longtime bandmate Roger Daltrey need to have a conversation about what happens next, as the final show felt like the end of an era. "It’s a question of, really, what is feasible, what would be lucrative, what would be fun? So, I wrote to Roger and said, ‘Come on, let’s have a chat and see what’s there,'" he said.
Townshend, who has often expressed his frustration with touring, said he had a change of heart during the recent shows, which included a U.K. tour, a European tour and an American tour in 2022. "I admit I started to get a real feeling of fulfillment. I feel very lucky to still be doing this at my age, to still be able to perform," he said.
The Who's last show was on August 28th at the Royal Family’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, where they shared the stage with Van Morrison and Robbie Williams. The band, which formed in 1964, is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative rock bands of all time, with iconic hits like "My Generation," "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
