'Fifty
Years of The Who' by photographer Colin Jones will take place at Proud
Galleries from February 5 - March 23, 2014, reports Music News. The exhibit
will feature pictures taken on the road, backstage and at home with the iconic
band.
Meanwhile,
Roger Daltrey recently had to clarify Pete Townshend's statement about the fact
The Who will stop touring after a final series of live shows in 2015, scaling
down their operation. However, in an interview with Billboard, Daltrey says
this will not be the end of The Who but merely an acknowledgment that at their
age they can no longer invest the energy needed to stage a lengthy tour.
"I think you have to clarify what he
said, and what we mean is we cannot keep going on doing these
month-after-month, long, extended tours," he added. "It's extremely
hard, hard work, just the grind of it. So we have to be realistic. The band got
better reviews on our last tour (the 2012-13 'Quadrophenia & More' trek)
than we had for years. It was incredibly enjoyable. It was incredibly
exhausting, and we have to be realistic about our age. But it's not going to be
the last thing The Who will do."
Elaborating
on what The Who will do in the future, Daltrey added that their charity work
will continue, as well as more "experimental" ideas: "We're
going to be doing events. We're going to be doing shows. We might do other
things, more experimental. We might decide to do something in a theatre, some
small production where we sit down for two or three weeks in one town; that
could be managed 'cause we're not schlepping our bodies from city to city. The
joy of the stage is wonderful, but the traveling every day is exhausting."
