Rockers The Who are to tour again in 2010.
Fans feared frontman Roger Daltrey's upcoming solo shows could spell the end of the band - but he insists he's simply working on his live singing voice for big concerts with bandmate Pete Townshend next year.
In a chat on the group's official website, Daltrey insists he "can't take a year off" because he won't be able to keep his rock rasp in top form. He says, "We're doing something next year...
“I have to be in tip top form and the only way to go out and do that is to go out and sing. So, I got a band together with Simon Townshend, and we'll just go out and play some of my own stuff.
"I'll do a few Who tracks, but I'll mostly play my own stuff... I'll do, probably, 25 per cent of it Who songs; I don't know. I've played a lot of my solo stuff and there are bloody great songs there and they'll be great on stage. The way I will do Who songs will be the way I would have if I had done them on my own."
