The Who's Roger Daltrey Still Up To Rocking At 71

. (Classic Rock) The Who singer Roger Daltrey believes the "scars of age" have added to his band's impact instead of detracting from it. And he insists his voice is better than ever as he prepares for the end of the band's touring career.

He and Pete Townshend are midway through their last-ever major road trip, which includes a return to London's Hyde Park in June before ending in the US in November - although it may be extended into 2016.

Daltrey tells Rolling Stone: "My voice is fine. I'm enjoying playing. There's something about looking down the end of a telescope and seeing the potential end.

"It brings me joy. I've always tried to sing as though I'm singing a song for the first time - now I sing as though I'm singing the song for what might be the last time."

And he's not worried about delivering the goods at the age of 71. "Maturity brings something extra to it," he says. "What it loses in the youthful exuberance, it makes up with the scars of age." Read more here.
