Roger Daltrey: 'The Who May Never Release Another Album'

Pete Townshend is also uncertain...

Who frontman Roger Daltrey has hinted that the band may never release another album, saying they've “done enough already.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Daltrey said it “would be great to have something new” but added that “it doesn't really matter.”

Despite appearing sceptical about the band's career in the studio, Daltrey did say that he still saw a future for the band as a touring unit.

“No one plays our music better than us,” he said. “By the end of this year, after we’ve done this short stint and got Japan under our belts, we’ll have a re-think.

“I would like to do 'Quadrophenia' again. I think that tour was way ahead of its time when we did it back in 1996. There’s so much we can do, but the road does wear you down.”

In addition to Daltrey's comments, guitarist Pete Townshend also spoke ambiguously about the band's prospects.

“I don’t know whether I can write songs for the Who. I don’t know if I can come up with some idea, some story, some angle, that will make me feel good about being the writer for the Who,” he said.

“Most important of all, I don’t know if I write something whether I should try to force the Who to carry it.”

    • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
