Roger Daltrey has opened up on his battle with meningitis, an inflammation of the tissue covering the brain and spinal cord, which he contracted last year. “I’m not bullsh***ing you; the meningitis last year took quite a heavy toll on me physically,” Daltrey tells Rolling Stone. “My legs aren’t good. My feet aren’t good. But I think being able to manage it with the adrenaline of the show, that’s all the matters. It’s two hours of losing myself and forgetting about my feet. But when I come off . . .” “When you get a shave as close as that from the reaper, you go . . . It’s weird,” he says. “I was totally peaceful. If death would have come, I would have welcomed it. It was weird. I was in such agony. But then it all went, and I felt this very peaceful space. . . . I don’t know, it was weird. That’s the one thing I remember as clear as day, that feeling. And any time I get stressed now, I just think of that and the worries go away.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
