Back over the summer Pete Townshend said he couldn’t see any reason to make a new Who album, even though he had new songs. And now Roger Daltrey agrees with him.
In an interview Daltrey said, “There’s no point in making any music if you can’t earn a living out of it — for me, anyway. What’s the point?… On the last record, it cost me money to make it. I don’t see the point in doing much of that, you know? I’m too working class for that. I’ve been working since my 15th birthday, and to go out and not get paid for a job… I don’t mind if it’s a charity, but I have a family to feed as well — a lot of grandchildren and a lot of children. So it’s tricky.”
He finished up by saying, “I don’t know whether we will ever make any more new music, but I never say never — let’s put it that way.”
The Who’s last album was 2019’s Who.
