The Who are preparing for what may be their final show on March 30.
Pete Townshend’s hearing problems look set to bring the rockers future to an end.Forty five years of loud music have left Townshend with recurring tinnitus. Rolling Stone has reported that the band are considering calling it quits if guitarist Pete Townshend’s tinnitus becomes a problem again. The news follows a cancelled spring 2010 tour and an appearance at the Coachella Festival.
'If my hearing is going to be a problem, we’re not delaying shows. We’re finished', Townshend told Rolling Stone. 'I can’t really see any way around the issue.'
We understand a new in-ear monitoring system is being tested at the band’s Teenage Cancer Trust gig at the Royal Albert Hall on March 30. It is currently their only show this year, with many speculating that it could be their final show if the hearing device is not successful.
