The Who releases DVD, may tour next year

If you’re a Japanese or Australian fan of The Who and have been hoping that the band will visit your country, then, um, you won’t be fooled again. That’s because the band is planning a trek to Japan and Australia next year. Roger Daltry and Co. recently completed 13 months of touring around their first album in 25 years, Endless Wire.

Daltrey recently told Reuters that he knows that the boys are not as young as they used to be: “We don’t want those long hiatuses that we used to have. We feel at this time of our lives it’s too precious a thing to take liberties with time. When you’re young, you’ve got that time. When you’re old, you haven’t.”

Daltrey said that guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend has been writing new songs, but of course, it’s impossible to know how long the next album gap will be. In the meantime, you can purchase the two-disc DVD Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who, a documentary about the band that will be out on November 6.
