Roger Daltrey from The Who has announced that he is to embark on a solo UK Tour entitled Who Was I-An Evening With Roger Daltrey. The Tour is set to kick off in November.
In announcing the tour the singer stated that he wishes to “Take the audience on a musical journey through my career as a singer, with a show of songs and sounds that explores and surprises”
The singer started his musical career as part of the band and co-founder of The Who formed in 1964. The original lineup of the band included the singer (Singer/guitarist), Pete Townshend (Singer/ guitarist), Keith Moon (Drummer) and John Entwistle (Singer/bass guitarist).
Moon sadly passed away on September 7th 1978 and the 43rd anniversary of his death was yesterday. Entwistle also sadly passed away on June 27th 2002. Following the sad deaths of both Moon and Entwistle, the singer and Townshend have vowed to carry on the band and have both managed to pursue solo projects whilst remaining in the band.
The Who are famed for their debut single “I Can’t Explain” (1965), as well as singles “My Generation” (1965), “Pinball Wizard” (1979) and “Who Are You” (1978). The song is also the theme tune for the main US Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) series.
The singer’s solo career began in 1973 and he has since recorded 10 solo studio albums with his last album being As Long As I Have You released in 2018. The singers hit singles include “Giving It All Away” (1973), “Written On The Wind” (1977), “Free Me” (1980) and “Without Your Love” (1980).
The singer expressed that he missed touring during the Covid 19 Pandemic and said “This pandemic has brought home to me what an important part of me singing is and it’s made me determined to get back onstage asap. See you soon!”
The singer has promised to involve his audiences during the tour. The singer expressed that he wishes to have closer contact with his audience and also said “I look forward to having closer contact with my audience than festivals and arenas allow. Leaving time to chat.”
