Roger started adding: “Pete (Townshend) still plays great guitar, the music still has the vitality that fits, because it is something about the way Pete’s music is written, the way it is formed, the sentiment behind it, it doesn’t seem to be aging like a lot of rock music.”
“We who perform for the last time is a thank you for fans.”
He started to doubt whether the tour could be extended to the UK and said: ‘Let’s see if we survive this.
“Touring America is a damn face easier than traveling through the United Kingdom, because for some reason the UK has decided to make it as difficult as possible to go from A to B.”
‘In America you seem to want to make it as easy as possible. I don’t want to say that there will not be, but I have no confidence to say that there will be. ‘
The hit maker added that he has a planned day off between each of the shows on the advice of his throat specialist, after he was removed from his vocal cords earlier in 2009.
Roger added: ‘I can’t do consecutive shows. At the end of the tour I might be able to do two backs.
“I was ordered by my throat specialist, (who would say)” “You must have a day off after every performance, and after every three performances you have to have two days off, because otherwise you will destroy your voice and you can’t sing.”

The news comes just a few weeks after Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have made a shock off the bend to welcome Zak Starkey back into the band, after he was fired after a bitter fallout
‘The dream of every musician in the early 60s was to make it big in the American charts. For the WHO, that dream came out in 1967 and our lives were changed forever.
‘The warmth of the American public over the years has been inspiring for me and reflects the feeling that I remember after I heard the first rock records about the radio. Musical freedom!
“Rock gave us a sense of generation bellie. America has always been great for me. The cultural differences had a huge impact on me, this was the land of the possible. ‘
Roger reflects on their decision to say goodbye to touring and added: ‘It is not easy to end the large part of my life that tour has been with the who has been. Thank you for being there for us and look at it one last time. ‘
Pete noticed: ‘Well, all good things have to end. It is a moving time.
‘For me, playing the American audience and people in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those target groups started in 1967 with hippies who smoked drugs, sitting on their blankets and listening deep and intensely.
“Music was everywhere. We all felt right. Today Roger and I still wear the banner for the late Keith Moon and John Entwistle and of course all our old who fans.
‘I have to say that although the road has not always been pleasant for me, it is usually easy: the best job I could have ever had. I keep coming back.
‘Every time I do that, I meet new fans and I feel new energy. Roger and I are in a good place, despite our age, our weight behind this dear goodbye to all our loyal fans, and hopefully to new ones who can jump to see what they have missed in the past 57 years.
“This tour will be about good memories, love and laughter. Make sure you participate. ‘
Last month, Zak was welcomed again after Roger and Pete had made the shock to fire him.
The couple reportedly fired the drummer after a ‘huge fall from’ took place after the two recent performances of the band in the Royal Albert Hall last month.
However, the musicians have now confirmed that bag is still firmly in the band and was not asked to leave.
Used to go to x, before TwitterWith an official statement they have written: ‘He is not asked to resign from the WHO.
“There have been some communication problems on all sides, personal and private, they had to be tackled, and they were fortunately broadcast.”
Sources were said to claim that there were question marks about Zak’s drums during the shows last month.
By dealing with this, the statement continued: ‘Roger and I want Zak to sharpen his newest evolved drum style to accommodate our non-orchestral line-up and he has easy to agree. I take responsibility for part of the confusion.
‘Our TCT [Teenage Cancer Trust] Shows in the Royal Albert Hall were a bit tricky for me. I thought that four and a half weeks would be enough time to fully recover from a complete knee replacement. (Why did I ever think I could land on my knees?) Wrong!
‘Maybe we didn’t put enough time in sound controls, which means we have problems on stage. The sound in the middle of the stage is always the most difficult to work with.
‘Roger did nothing wrong than with his in-ear monitors. Zak made a few mistakes and he apologized. Be it with a drummer with rubber duck.
‘We are a family, this was blown up very quickly and got too much oxygen. It’s over. We are now continuing with optimism and fire in our stomach. ‘
Pete focused on another rumor and added: ‘As far as Roger is concerned, fans can enjoy his upcoming solo shows with his fantastic drummer, Scott Devours, which was rumor that the bag could replace in the WHO and always supported the band.
‘I owe Scott an apology because he does not crush that rumor before it spread. He was hurt because of this. I promise I have to buy him a very long drink and give him a hug. ‘
Zak also responded to the post while he wrote: “V grateful to be part of the WHO family thanks Roger and Pete XX.”
A spokesperson had previously announced the news of Zak’s exit from the band by saying: ‘The band made a collective decision to say goodbye to Zak after these round of shows in the Royal Albert Hall.
“They have nothing but admiration for him and wish him the very best for his future.”
However, a Pak spokesperson hinted that if things settle, ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ would be and described the row as a ‘typical rock’ roll fall out ‘.
They said: ‘Healing can take time! Zak is without a doubt one of the greatest drummers of the UK and to question his drum skills and implementation, is a musical insult in my mind.
‘He has an exceptional timing, rhythmic drive, and had created a solid foundation for the WHO and I feel that his godfather Keith Moon would only be all too proud in his pocket.
‘I am sure that there will be some light at the end of the tunnel if things settle. Hey, it’s just rock’n’roll, but we love it! ‘
Zak, who was planning to take ‘much needed free time with his family’, would be ‘sad and surprised’ about the decision to dismiss him after his long career in the band.
According to The mirrorZak said in a statement: ‘In January I suffered a serious medical emergency with blood clots in my right bass drum calf. This is now completely healed and has no influence on my drums or running.
‘After playing those songs with the band for so many decades, I am surprised and sad that someone would have a problem with my performance that evening, but what can you do?

Tager added that he has a planned day off between each of the shows on the advice of his throat specialist, after he was removed from his vocal cords earlier in 2009 in 2009
‘I intend to take some necessary free time with my family and concentrate on the release of Domino Bones by Mantra of the Cosmos with Noel Gallagher in May and my autobiography written exclusively by me. Twenty -nine years at every job is a good old run, and I wish them the best. ‘
The insider added: “It is a bit bitter to say the least.”
While fans loved the shows, who were in honor of Roger’s Teenage Cancer Trust Charity, a source claimed that there were a few problems with drumming … and the standard was not as high as everyone wanted. “
Another source, however, noted that ‘extremely talented’ Zak’s departure would certainly rock the band, with his axy ‘no sense’.
Zak is the son of Beatles Legend Ringo Starr and Maureen Starkey Tigrett.
Back in January, Bag said he feared he would die While he spoke for the first time since he canceled performances after a blood clot had been established with him.
Zak was set to enter the stage with his supergroup mantra of the Cosmos – including Happy Monday Vocalist Shaun Ryder62, Oasis -guitarist Andy Bell, 54, percussionist Mark ‘Beverage‘Berry, 60, and Noel Gallagher57, – when he received the alarming health warning.
It led him to withdraw from a performance in London, hours before Showtime.
Since then he has revealed that the blood clot in his right leg has forced him to rest for two weeks on doctors’ and he has prescribed blood thinners for the dangerous health status.
Zak said to MailOnline: ‘At first I thought I might have just pulled a hamstring or something, because there the pain on the knee started and then the MRI scan showed nothing and then an ultrasound showed it the next day.
‘So we had to pull the performance and I was told to go home immediately. I have blood thinners and that should move it, you know, but it wasn’t ideal news.
‘I’m a little worried, but they said that a few weeks should be good. It should be able to disappear, but there is a concern if you move it too much and it becomes something important.
‘If it touches your lungs or your heart or brain, you are in deep sh **. Or deep earth. ‘
