They plan to visit Japan and Australia in 2008

The Who are set to tour next year, this time taking their reformed rock show to Japan and Australia.

The rock legends recently completed a 13-month tour taking in Europe and North America, and Roger Daltrey says Asia and Australia are next, reports Billboard.

"We don't want to stop now. We don't want those long hiatuses that we used to have. We feel at this time of our lives it's too precious a thing to take liberties with time. When you're young, you've got that time. When you're old, you haven't. You should at least keep the ball rolling," Daltrey said.

The band are also gearing up for the release of a DVD entitled ‘Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who’, which traces the band’s history from their inception to split and reformation.

Daltrey however, says he won’t watch the DVD as it makes him “uncomfortable” to see himself on screen.
