The Who are only two shows into The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour and Pete Townshend's already complaining about being on the road in an interview with AARP.
In fairness, he did the interview before the tour started Saturday in Florida, but nonetheless, he doesn't sound happy about it, saying, "It can be lonely. I’ve thought, ‘Well, this is my job, I’m happy to have the work, but I prefer to be doing something else.' Then, I think, ‘Well, I’m 80 years old. Why shouldn’t I revel in it? Why shouldn’t I celebrate?'”
And, as for this truly being their second and final farewell tour, he says, "We reserve the right to pop up again, but I think one thing is very clear: that at our age, we will not...
“Roger [Daltrey] and I certainly [will] work together for charity and possibly for special projects. Together we represent all aspects of The Who legacy. We’ll continue to work together, even if we rarely socialize.”
As for Townshend's negative comments about touring, Daltrey tells us he can't understand it.
