Roger Daltrey Tickets

Roger Daltrey News and Information Roger Daltrey, legendary rocker and former frontman of British band The Who, hasn't officially announced a major tour for the fall, but he is rumored to be planning a full 27-date tour, his first full-scale outing since 1995.

The singer, who branched out to film, theatre and television roles after finding fame with The Who, is known as one of the most charismatic frontmen of rock. Pouring his emotions into his albums and performances, Daltrey has positioned himself as one of the "gods of rock and roll."

Daltrey grew up in London, where he attended school with fellow bandmates Pete Townshend and John Entwistle. He eventually dropped out of school after discovering rock and roll, and made it big with The Who in 1965. Hits from the group included "My Generation," and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

As relations between band members were faltering, Daltrey branched out to record solo records, and he also embarked on an acting career - his first film was McVicar in 1980. In 1982, the rockers retired from active touring. His acting career was successful - he has been featured in the films "Tommy," "The Legacy," "The Beggar's Opera" and "Mack the Knife," among many others.

He balanced his acting career with continued success in the studio and on tour as a solo artist. Daltrey has released twelve solo albums since the 1970's and has amassed a number of hit singles; they include "Giving it All Away," "I'm Free," "Free Me," "After the Fire" and "Without Your Love."

In addition, Daltrey has scored a number of television roles, including "Louis and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," "The Simpson," "Sliders" and "The Bill" and "A Comedy of Errors." He has also found success on the stage with "Jesus Christ Superstar," "My Fair Lady" and "The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True."

In 1989, The Who returned to the road on a 25th anniversary tour, and Daltrey has continued to work with Townshend and the rest of the members of the band sporadically.
