The Who Plan To Tour Quadrophenia

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:59:12 +1000

Roger Daltrey says that The Who will tour in 2011, and incorporate Quadrophenia.

Speaking to Billboard, Daltrey spoke of wanting to tour in the second half of 2011.

Contrary to their former "dying before they get old" edict, Daltrey now says, "We definitely don't want to stop. We feel it's the role of the artist to go all the way through life 'til you can't do it anymore."

He suggested that they'd incorporate parts of their 1973 rock opera Quadrophenia into next year's tour.

They haven't performed the songs since 1994 and Daltrey suggested that the plot may need a clarification and an update.

He said, "For the newcomers, it was narratively a bit of a puzzle, what Pete and I were to this guy on the screen. It needs a revamp."

The tour would be the first run of shows for the band since 2007.
