New Projects for The Who

Roger Daltry is embarking on his first solo North American tour on October 10th in Vancouver Canada. This is his first solo tour since 1994. Roger's band includes Simon Townshend, brother of bandmate, Pete Townshend. Roger promises that he will be playing a lot of Who material, but in his "own way" along with some of his past solo material. Hopefully, this will include Under a Raging Moon, which is a tribute to Keith Moon. It is reported that he will include an acoustic version of the Who's "Who Are You".

Pete Townshend is also working on material for a new rock opera, FLOSS. He plans on releasing this material in a new Who album in 2010. The Who's last album, Endless Wire (released in 2006) also included a mini-rock opera entitled Wire and Glass. Pete Townshend is famous for penning two previous rock operas with The Who, Tommy and Quadrophenia.
