Roger Daltrey has opened up about his fight against the deadly brain condition meningitis, saying that, while sick, he had prepared himself for death. The Who legend spoke on his fight with the illness during a recent interview with The Sun and says he has never been in worse shape. “I crawled into the hospital on my hands and knees,” he began. “I started talking gobbledygook (nonsense), I couldn’t get anyone’s name right and my legs went all funny. I virtually stopped working . . . It was touch and go there for a few days. I’ve never known pain like it.” He adds: “I know it sounds weird but an incredible peace came over me, which I can still tap into now . . . I guess when you face adversity you learn something and you gain something. It was touch and go. But out of all that I came to terms with my own mortality . . . I was ready to go, and if I had to go I would have gone with a smile on my face.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
