    Roger stays forever young. He's been the frontman of one of the greatest bands ever, they already played Monterey, Woodstock, Isle of Wight in the wild sixties. Their albums Tommy and Who's Next are epic legendary works of 20th century music. They wrote the book of sex, drugs & rock 'n roll... And here he is, all those years later, still healthy looking, full of energy, not an old man at all.How does he do that ? I mean, take for example Jagger, his face looks like an unmade bed... Keith Richards looks like he's 120... But Daltrey is still going strong. It's truly amazing.

      I see what ya mean but with Daltrey theres another element, and that is he stayed fit. The Who def did their share but it was really Moon and Entwistle that did the whole party! Townsend said he had quit using drugs i think before the hey day of the 70s even began and from I gather Daltrey only dabbled but was known to drink a lil more than drug until he got his under control. Take away the rockstar idea and Roger Daltrey simply has taken care of his body and hell dude was ripped in the 70s so im sure while everyone was picking up drink and drugs, Roger Daltrey was somewhere lifting weight and doin excercise. No mystery really why he looks better than Jagger/Richards.

    Roger didn't always catch that mic. Saw them in Toronto (75, I think). One of his looping launches up in the air came crashing back down on Keith Moon's cymbal. Not to be out done, Townsend crashed into a column of amps, brought them down and they caught fire. The roadies had extinguishers at the ready and put the flames out in seconds. Guess they had a lot of practice.

    This is real good content. I wish someone could verify this story: one night going out on St. Pete beach I split from the group and went home. The rest went and did karaoke at a dive on treasure island. The story goes that someone was singing AC⚡️DC song(s) and was sounding perfect. Turned out to be Brian Johnson. We’re my friends trying to make me feel bad for going home early, or is that a true story??
