Hello Rayo reported that The Who’s frontman Roger Daltrey shared concerning news about his health during a performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
“The problem with this job is that you go deaf, and now I’ve been told I am going blind,” Daltrey revealed to the audience during the Teenage Cancer Trust concert.
The veteran rock singer delivered this announcement during his performance at the charitable event in the historic Royal Albert Hall.
This latest health revelation compounds the challenges the legendary vocalist has faced in his extensive music career.
Planet Rock News revealed that the 81-year-old Daltrey has struggled with significant hearing loss for years. His prolonged exposure to loud music has left him ‘very deaf.’ This condition requires him to use in-ear monitors and lip-reading techniques during live performances.
Daltrey’s commitment to music remains strong despite these health setbacks. Best Classic Bands confirmed his upcoming solo UK tour ‘Alive and Kicking… and Having Fun!’ The tour begins April 20 and will feature acoustic versions of The Who classics alongside his solo works.
The Who maintains an active schedule. The band will perform in Italy this July, showcasing Daltrey’s determination to continue performing despite his health challenges.
The Royal Albert Hall announcement carries special significance. The venue holds deep meaning for both The Who and the Teenage Cancer Trust, an organization Daltrey has championed throughout his career.
