A Sentimental Message from Pete Townshend
In a heartfelt message, Pete Townshend reflected on their extraordinary journey, stating, "Well, all good things must come to an end. It’s a poignant time. Performing for American and Canadian audiences has always been an incredible experience for me. The warmth and engagement began back in 1967, and it still resonates today. Roger and I are here for our late bandmates, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, and for all of our loyal fans."
He adds, "Though the road hasn’t always been easy, performing is the best job I could ever have. Every time I return, I’m met with new fans and fresh energy. This farewell tour is about cherishing the memories while welcoming anyone curious about the last 57 years of our music. Join us for love and laughter!"
Roger Daltrey Reflects on Their American Journey
Roger Daltrey echoed Townshend’s sentiments, noting the profound impact American audiences have had on their music and lives. "America has been a land of possibilities for me. Ending this chapter of my life is bittersweet. Thank you all for your unwavering support; I look forward to seeing you one last time!"
Ticket Sales: Don’t Miss Out!
Citi presales and access through the Who Fan Club start on May 13, with additional presales leading up to the general sale on May 16 at 10 a.m. local time via the band's website.
A Historic Band with a Legacy of Farewells
For those who recall, this isn’t The Who's first farewell. Back in 1982, they hinted at closing the curtain, but Townshend clarified that it was the manager’s idea to market it as a final tour for profit. Now, as the band members approach their eighties, the stakes feel higher, yet they might just prove that the farewell tour can still leave room for more surprises!
