Roger Daltrey in conversation with Rob Lee : 2 May 2012

This is an interview which Roger did with thewho.com’s Rob Lee, conducted via Skype on 2 May 2012.

Roger had just completed his spring 2012 solo tour Roger Daltrey performs The Who’s Tommy which culminated in a week of concerts in Japan.

Roger’s band consisted of Simon Townshend (vocals, guitars), Jon Button (bass), Scott Devours (drums), Loren Gold (vocals, keyboards), and Frank Simes (vocals, guitars). Jamie Hunting stepped in and replaced Jon Button for the Japanese leg of the tour due to Jon injuring himself coming off his motorbike two days before the first Japanese show.
