KulBritania - Pete Townshend thinks The Who Will Stop After This Year

In an interview with Mojo, The Who's Pete Townshend said that he thinks The Who will stop after this year.

“I think I will stop after this year,” he explains, though he stresses it won’t be the end of his collaborative relationship with Who singer Roger Daltrey. “I think Roger and I will do odd things together,”and added, “I hope that one day I can write him an album of songs that suit him and the record company won’t demand that we call it the f***ing Who, but I’ve got a bad feeling about it. I think that if I wrote Roger a bunch of good songs, our manager would say, ‘Why not call it The Who? We’ll sell double as many records!’”

Finally, Townshend stated: "When this tour is over, we’ll probably both go our separate ways. So it’s to demonstrate that even this particular gang can grow old – not necessarily gracefully, but can grow old ungracefully, or whatever it is that we’re doing.”

The Who will play BST Hyde Park Friday 26 June.
