At 81, Roger Daltrey humorously embraces aging, likening his life to the 'Tommy' protagonist. During a recent show, he candidly shared his experiences with deafness and vision issues but remains upbeat, emphasizing his enduring vocal talents. His bandmate Pete Townshend also contributed to the humor, jokingly mentioning a recent knee replacement. Daltrey's past comments reveal a longstanding awareness of the toll that a rock music career has taken on his hearing, urging fans to protect their ears at concerts, merging wisdom with wit as he navigates this stage of life.
"The joys of getting old mean you go deaf. I also now have got the joy of going blind... Fortunately I still have my voice, because then I'll have a full Tommy."
"Maybe I should auction off the old one," he joked about his knee replacement.
Daltrey admitted he was 'very, very deaf' from decades of being surrounded by loud music..."Take your fucking earplugs to the gigs," he advised.
