Still haven't seen the epic "Baba O'Riley" performed live? You better start planning now. The Who have announced that they will end their days on the road after a final 2015 farewell 50th anniversary tour.
Guitarist Pete Townshend told London's Evening Standard yesterday, "For the 50th anniversary we'll tour the world. It'll be the last big one for us. There are still plenty of places we've not played. IT would be good to go to eastern Europe and places that haven't heard us play all the old hits."
Their first album, My Generation, came out in 1965 and the band has sold more than 100 million records since then. They have continued touring together despite the deaths of founder members Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
According to the article, both remaining members, Townshend and Roger Daltrey have plans to work on solo projects.
The Story of The Who's Tommy, a documentary on the making of the 1969 rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind kid, premiered earlier this week (Oct. 22) in London. The special-edition box set of Tommy will be released Nov. 11.
