The Who last played in the US in 2022 as part of the Hits Back tour, which partially supported the band’s twelfth studio Who but also featured some of their biggest hits. When asked by USA Today if the band plans on touring America again in the future, Daltrey said that the chances of that happening are slim.

“Nothing at the moment. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to tour America,” Daltrey shared.

Daltrey explained that the only tour The Who might do in America is the orchestrated performance of their rock opera Quadrophenia “to round out the catalog.” However, he noted that singing it live in a tour setting would be “one tall order,” considering he will turn 80 in 2024.

 “I never say never, but at the moment it’s very doubtful,” he added.

The Who is currently scheduled to continue the Hits Back tour in the summer. They will play a series of concerts across Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the UK.

When bands like The Who reunite, fans expect a handful of shows where they will hear old time classics. They may expect the odd new song, but nothing particularly groundbreaking. The Who peaked 50 years ago, so what could possibly be the point in bringing out a new album?

According to frontman Roger Daltrey, there is every reason to keep making music. He even claims that the album he has been working on with Pete Townsend is up there with the legendary Quadrophenia.

“When I first heard the songs I was very skeptical as I didn’t think I could do it,” Daltrey explained. “I thought Pete had written a really great solo album and I said to him, ‘Pete, what do you need to do this for? Release it as a solo album, it’s great.’ But he said he wanted it to be a Who album.

“So I took the songs away and I listened to them and listened to them some more, and I had some ideas. [Pete] let me have a bit of freedom with changing a few things, changing the tenses of songs and other little things. And he gave me complete melodic freedom. And I gotta tell you that after being very skeptical I’m now incredibly optimistic. I think we’ve made our best album since ‘Quadrophenia’.”

He concluded: “Pete hasn’t lost it, he’s still a fabulous songwriter and he’s still got that cutting edge, man.”

We are still awaiting the release date of this major new album from the mod legends.

The mod icon first mentioned the idea of writing a memoir back in 2009. Almost ten years later, the memoir is finally on its way.

A post on The Who’s official Facebook page had revealed that the title of the memoir will be “Thanks A Lot Mr Kibblewhite: My Story.” The book will take readers through the star’s 50-year career with The Who and will offer a glimpse into the life of a rock ‘n’ roll star living in Britain back in the ’60s.

Daltrey previously said in a statement: “I’ve always resisted the urge to ‘do the memoir’ but now, finally, I feel I’ve enough perspective. When you’ve spent more than half a century at the epicenter of a band like The Who, perspective can be a problem. Everything happened in the moment. One minute, I’m on the factory floor in Shepherd’s Bush, the next, I’m headlining Woodstock.”

He added: “It’s taken three years to unpick the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon’s 21st birthday.”

“I hope the result is more than just another autobiography. I’ve been lucky enough to live in interesting times. I’ve witnessed society, music and culture change beyond recognition. That I’m still here to tell my tale when so many others around me didn’t make it is nothing short of a miracle.”

Thanks A Lot Mr Kibblewhite: My Story will be released on October 18th.

“I’ve always resisted the urge to ‘do the memoir,'” said Daltrey in a statement, “but now, finally, I feel I’ve enough perspective. When you’ve spent more than half a century at the epicenter of a band like The Who, perspective can be a problem. Everything happened in the moment. One minute, I’m on the factory floor in Shepherd’s Bush, the next, I’m headlining Woodstock.”

Daltrey first mentioned that he is preparing his memoir in 2016, but stated that he will only release it if it turns out to be a good book, wishing to give his fans a good read. It looks like he managed to do so and that we are in for a treat.

“It’s taken three years to unpack the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon’s 21st birthday,” he said. “I hope the result is more than just another autobiography. I’ve been lucky enough to live in interesting times. I’ve witnessed society, music and culture change beyond recognition. That I’m still here to tell my tale when so many others around me didn’t make it is nothing short of a miracle.”

After the 2017 edition of The Who tour ended recently, Roger Daltrey will now embark on a solo tour where he will deliver a mix of songs from his eight solo albums and The Who hits. He also reportedly works on his first solo album since 1992’s Rocks in the Head.
