The Who’s Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are set to announce a special upcoming project named, “The Song Is Over,” sparking speculation about a potential farewell tour. The rock legends will hold a press event in London on Thursday (May 8), inviting questions from fans through their social media channels for what the duo are calling a “special announcement followed by an exclusive Q&A session.” The project’s cryptic title draws its name from the band’s classic 1971 track, which was featured on their celebrated album, Who’s Next. Considering the band members’ advancing ages – Townshend turns 80 on May 19, and Daltrey is 81 – the likelihood of a farewell tour seems to be high. Though the Who have a long history of so-called “farewell” tours, with their first one dating all the way back to 1982, which was their last trek with drummer Kenny Jones, who replaced their original drummer Keith Moon after his death in 1978. The Who’s current drummer, Zak Starkey, was recently fired – then immediately rehired – by the band. (Rolling Stone)
