Iconic rock group The Who saying goodbye with North America tour
Briefly

Legendary rock band The Who has announced their final tour of North America, celebrating their illustrious career spanning sixty years. Founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend reflect on their journey, highlighting how their 1967 success in the U.S. changed their lives. Despite health limitations, they are enthusiastic about delivering a memorable farewell to fans, featuring classic hits. The tour, set for August and September, is poignantly titled 'The Song Is Over,' marking a significant chapter in their storied history.
Famous for hit songs including "Baba O'Riley," "My Generation," and "Behind Blue Eyes," the band was formed in 1964 and made up of Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon.
Lead singer Daltrey, 81, said it was every musician's dream in the early 1960s to make it big in the U.S. charts.
Guitarist and songwriter Townshend, 79, the other surviving member of the original lineup, said: "Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, eager to throw our weight behind this fond farewell to all our faithful fans."
The tour, scheduled for August and September, is named "The Song Is Over," after a 1971 song they had never played live until a few weeks ago.
