The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer talks music, recalls laboring cutting sheet metal at 15, his painful mishaps twirling his microphone, and exactly what it would take to get him and The Who's Pete Townshend to collaborate again

'Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!' Considering that he has devoted much of the past 60 years to his career as the lead singer in The Who, you wouldn't expect to hear Roger Daltrey laughing uproariously over the apparent demise of the band long synonymous with his name. Especially not just a day after Who co-founder Pete Townshend stated in a podcast he was 'not doing' a farewell tour that he himself had proposed only three weeks earlier.

I had a very rough period in the late 1990s and early 2000s, where I had — it turned out I was OK — but it was a potential vocal cord cancer and I managed to get it sorted. I also managed to hear myself singing for the first time, which was a luxury for me. In the '60, '70s, and '80s, it seemed to be the mission of the rest of the band to drown me out. It felt like it anyway! They were so loud that it became hard work to hear myself.
