Legendary Rockers on Tour

Legendary and influential rock band, The Who, will be touring in the USA later this year. Their first world tour in over 20 years!!

The Who, formed in 1964, is an English rock band that became known internationally for their energetic live performances. (I think they were the first to destroy their guitars onstage.) Original members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are touring in Japan and Australia and plan to come to America in October.

The Who were recently honored at the 2008 VH1 Rock Honors in Los Angeles. This award will complement their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the UK Music Hall of Fame and their Freddie Mercury Lifetime Achievement in Live Music Award (the first to receive that award.)

On October 30, 2007, Roger Daltrey while announcing plans for The Who’s return said:
"We don't want to stop... We don't want those long hiatuses that we used to have.... You should at least keep the ball rolling."
