the who

Just because you're great at something doesn't mean it's fun for you. Just ask Pete Townshend.

The Who will release a concert film from Oct. 13, 1982, for the first time as part of their 50th anniversary celebration.

Pete Townshend's new classical version of "Love Reign O'er Me" reworks the Who's 1973 classic features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but no Roger Daltrey.

The Bolton, England concert was a full month before the groundbreaking double album was released.

Life on the road can get painfully complicated for rockers of a certain age, and Roger Daltrey has the doctor bills to prove it.

The Who have started other tours believing they were bidding farewell to the road, but Roger Daltrey knows the group's 50th anniversary dates are definitely the "last big tour we'll ever do."

It's been nearly a decade since the Who released their most recent LP, 2006's Endless Wire, and it still looks like it'll be a while before fans hear another new album from Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey.

This week in 1970,The Who were on stage in concert at Leeds University in England. Tape recorders captured the show and the material was used to make The Who's album Live At Leeds. Since that time 45 years ago the album has been praised by critics and fans of The Who as best live album ever recorded.

Saying “I didn’t expect to get this,” Roger Daltry received a royal honor at Buckingham Palace on this day in 2005. He was awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to Music, the Entertainment Industry and Charity by Queen Elizabeth.

"Actually," noted Roger Daltrey when Forbes pointed out that he and Pete Townshend have been together in the Who for 50 years, "[it's been] 54 or 55. And," laughed Daltrey, "he’s as bloody difficult now as he always was."

The Teenage Cancer Trust, the charity founded by Roger Daltrey, has announced that its annual week of benefit concerts, which will be held on March 23-28 at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Newly minted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joan Jett and her Blackhearts will open for the Who's 50th anniversary tour when it hits North America next year.
