The Who: 'We don't really have any plans for the future'
Veterans face their fans' questions in London
The Who have revealed that they don't currently have any plans for the future.
Speaking at a Q&A session after the preview of the film ‘Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who’ at the Kensington Odeon last night (November 5), the group said they are currently reviewing their future.
Songwriter and guitarist Pete Townshend said: “We don’t really have any plans for the future. We’re faced with a load of things we could do. We could play Vegas, do a rock’n’roll tour or an Unplugged-type event.”
Vocalist Roger Daltrey then added: “It depends whether we feel we’ve got anything to say.”
The duo talked about a variety of different topics at the screening – which was chaired by Jeremy Clarkson and attended by relatives of deceased Who members Keith Moon and John Entwistle – including the Led Zeppelin reunion, on which Townshend denounced criticism of Robert Plant reforming the band so soon after releasing his duets’ album with Alison Krauss.
Frontman Daltrey also commented on the origins of his famous fringed jacket, showcased at the 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival, saying: “[the designer] used to make leather sofas and decided to make a suit. It was like a giant chamois leather.”
