The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has opened up about the chances of the band touring America again.Speaking to USA Today for a new interview, Daltrey spoke about the band’s latest live record ‘The Who with Orchestra: Live at Wembley’, the 79-year-old singer shared his thoughts on The Who touring the US again, saying he’s “very doubtful” it will happen, though he says “never say never”.When asked if The Who have plans to tour America again, Daltrey said: “Nothing at the moment. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to tour America.
There is only one tour we could do, an orchestrated “Quadrophenia” to round out the catalog. But that’s one tall order to sing that piece of music, as I’ll be 80 next year.
I never say never, but at the moment it’s very doubtful.”Besides his age being a factor, Daltrey went on to explain that “touring has become very difficult since COVID”. He added: “We cannot get insured and most of the big bands doing arena shows, by the time they do their first show and rehearsals and get the staging and crew together, all the buses and hotels, you’re upwards $600,000 to a million in the hole.”“To earn that back, if you’re doing a 12-show run, you don’t start to earn it back until the seventh or eighth show.
That’s just how the business works. The trouble now is if you get COVID after the first show, you’ve [lost] that money.”Last month, Daltrey spoke to NME about the long-delayed Keith Moon biopic, vowing that the film “will be made”.
The project had first been in the works since 2005, and has experienced multiple setbacks.Speaking to NME, Daltrey confirmed that he recently completed a script for the film and said he was determined to get it to the big screen. “I’m at a draft that’s ready to go to directors,”
