Sir Roger Daltrey CBE knighted in HM The King’s birthday honours
It’s with the greatest pleasure we’re delighted to announce that Sir Roger Daltrey CBE has been recognised with a Knighthood in HM The King’s Birthday Honours. It’s richly deserved not just for his remarkable contribution to British music and culture for over half a century, but for the tens of millions of pounds that his relentless fundraising and brilliant live performances have generated for Teenage Cancer Trust among other causes.
Sir Roger is a true inspiration and we salute him and all the other honourees from the worlds of music and the creative arts for enriching our lives with their brilliant human artistry and achievements.
Roger said in a statement: “It is a wonderful honour for me and especially for Teenage Cancer Trust. I accept this award not only for myself but on behalf of all the unsung heroes who have given their energy towards making the Teenage Cancer Trust the success it has become. The likes of The Who and their fans, Angie Jenkison, Lindsay Hughes, Des Murphy, Rob Ballantine and the late Chris York are some of many who have done so much to elevate the charity, to the point where it now has 28 specialist units in NHS hospitals across the U.K.”
Congrats Sir Rodg! So pleased for you and your family. You continue to inspire and I can’t wait for Newark and MSG in August. “She was the first song I ever sang”.

Well deserved sir Roger , keep on rocking my friend
Grats Roger. You deserved the title a long time ago. I always wondered why it took so long. Enjoy it with the family.
Dear Sir Roger Daltrey, I’m pleased to hear that the funds raised for the songs you sang which Pete Townshend composed for The Who went to charities benefiting healthcare and treatment for various hospitals. As a guitarist and singer myself, I know there were many challenges along the way such as vocal practice, recording sessions, rehearsals, and rock concerts. Congratulations! I wish happiness and good health for you and your family, and my favourite rock band The Who!
Congratulations, Roger; you and Pete model to us men how to access true masculine power, not collapse under its pressure, but GiVE from that boundless, regenerative wellspring. Thank you. A grateful fan since ‘69. See you in Vancouver, Bc.
Congratulations Roger! Well deserved : ). Now do the right thing and get Zak back in the mix please. I beg you!
Congratulations Roger
Roger thoroughly deserves this honour. Having seen The Who many times over the years, to have done all he and others have done in making the Teenage Cancer Trust what it is explemary.
