While performing alongside his bandmate Pete Townshend for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity event in London last week, Daltrey gave the crowd an unexpected health update.
"The joys of getting old mean you go deaf. I also now have got the joy of going blind," he revealed mid-set, per Sky News.
"Fortunately, I still have my voice, because then I’ll have a full Tommy," he said, referencing the title character of The Who's 1969 album. "Deaf, dumb and blind kid."
