The Who frontman Roger Daltrey is going blind and deaf

The lead singer of The Who performed with bandmate Pete Townshend at a charity event in London last week


While The Who's Roger Daltrey still has what it takes to perform, the 81-year-old rock legend is dealing with some physical changes that are out of his control.

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."

I'm sure those exploding drums pranks they did at the end of some shows didn't help his hearing.
