Simon Townshend

Forty years ago this month, on 11 November 1985, Pete Townshend released one of the most ambitious albums of his solo career. White City: A Novel arrived at a defining point in his artistic evolution. The Who had wound down as a touring force three years earlier, and Townshend, free from the arena-sized weight of his band's legacy, was exploring more personal and socially grounded songwriting.

The Who’s landmark 1978 album Who Are You is returning in spectacular form with an expansive new 7CD/Blu-Ray Super Deluxe Edition box set, offering the deepest dive yet into what would ultimately become the final studio record to feature Keith Moon before his untimely death that same year.

London’s indefatigable rock sage Pete Townshend recently granted AARP The Magazine a deeply revealing interview, with the questioning prowess of Jim Sullivan guiding him through reflections on The Who’s swan song and his exhilarating future ahead.

The Who are digging deep for their final shows, pulling out songs rarely, and in some cases, never performed before.

Pete Townshend has described The Who's turbulent split with longtime drummer Zak Starkey as "a mess".

The Who have an impressive list of opening acts for the 2025 North American farewell tour.

Zak Starkey has claimed The Who asked him to "lie" about his exit from the band.
