As if Father Time wasn’t already conspiring against aging rockers (except for the Rolling Stones, we guess), The Who’s Roger Daltrey has to worry about illnesses attacking his vocal chords.
Such is the story with the iconic British act that has postponed its pending 2015 North American tour as a result of singer Daltrey contracting viral meningitis, including a Dec. 10 concert at the Pepsi Center.
“We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way,” Daltrey said in a press release. “For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral meningitis. I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover. The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year.”
As far as make-up dates, , “We are rescheduling all the shows for next Spring 2016. We apologize to all our fans who have supported us in the last 50 years. Once Roger is completely well we will come back stronger than ever and Roger and I will give you all a show to remember.”
