Roger Daltrey to play at the Villa

Thu, 02 Jun 2011

The frontman of legendary rockers The Who is to play on the Island next month.

Roger Daltrey will perform the band's rock opera 'Tommy' at the Villa Marina on 28th July.

Tommy was a double album released by The Who in 1969, although the group never performed it live from start to finish.

Daltrey will also play some of the band's other classic tracks during the show.

He'll be joined by Simon Townsend on lead guitar.

Simon is the brother of The Who guitarist Pete Townsend who isn't joining the tour.

Although the group has played together in recent months, Townsend, who now suffers from partial hearing loss, has hinted that it may be the end for The Who.
