Pete Townshend says that it is reinvigorating for the Who to be able to perform to a younger audience on their “Back to the Who Tour 51!” tour. “It’s much nicer to play our music to younger audiences, who really haven’t grown up with it,” he recently told Rolling Stone. “That’s what struck me about the last five weeks of the tour; we were playing to a much larger number of younger people. I just feel, like, ‘Wow. I’m alive to see a new generation of people really get this stuff.’ It’s just a real kick.” Townshend adds that when it comes to the future of the Who, things are up in the air. “We talked about the future and what we might and might not do, but I don’t think we’re finished doing what we’re doing. Certainly, we’re finished with the so-called “52nd-anniversary tour.” He adds “I’ve got a novel coming out next year and I’m working on a number of other projects. One relates to the book and that will all unfold when the time comes.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
