The legendary english group 'The Who' announced that he will be retiring permanently after making a series of presentations to commemorate his 50th anniversary in 2015. The band's guitarist, Pete Townshend, announced the first of the 50th anniversary tour in London during the premiere of the film 'Sensation', a documentary about the musical 'Tommy'. Townshend commented to the British press on the matter: “During the 50th Anniversary tour we are planning to do performances around the world. It will be the last tour for the group, there are still a lot of places where we haven't played, and it would be nice to be able to go to Eastern Europe and the places where they never saw us live ».
Although The Who would retire definitively, according to the specialized press both Townshend and the vocalist Roger Daltrey, plan to continue with their solo projects after the last presentations of 2015. Last summer the British group met to perform the 'Quadrophenia Tour', a series of presentations in the United Kingdom, Ireland and also the United States, in which they performed their double album 'Quadrophenia' along with some of its main classics.
Released in 1973, 'Quadrophenia' was The Who's sixth studio album and the group's second 'opera rock', after 'Tommy' in 1969. The Who were one of the pioneering groups to release long-running rock-opera works between the late XNUMXs and early XNUMXs.
