The Who Have One Tour Left In Them

in News

Pete Townshend has made it clear that The Who will do one last big tour in 2015 and that will be the end of the road for them.

Townshend talked to Britain’s Evening Standard, telling them “For the 50th anniversary we’ll tour the world. It’ll be the last big one for us. There are still plenty of places we’ve not played. It would be good to go to eastern Europe and places that haven’t heard us play all the old hits.”

Whether there will even be another studio album from the group in unknown. The two surviving members, Townshend and Roger Daltrey, are working on solo projects. The last of their 11 studio albums was 2006’s Endless Wire and even that release was their first in 24 years.

Even without anything new from the studio, there is plenty yet to come from the group. They release an expanded set revolving around the classic rock opera Tommy next month and they have been regularly putting out archival live material for a number of years.
