The Who announce The Song Is Over North American farewell tour

Legendary rock band The Who announced their final tour, calling it the 'grand finale of their illustrious six-decade career.'

The Who is saying goodbye once again  — but first, the band is embarking on one more tour.

The English rock band announced the news of their final tour, titled The Song Is Over Tour, on May 8 and called it the “grand finale of their illustrious six-decade career.”

“Every musician’s dream in the early 60’s was to make it big in the US charts. For the Who, that dream came true in 1967 and our lives were changed forever,” lead singer Roger Daltrey said in a statement.

“The warmth of the American audiences over the years have been inspirational to me, and reflect the feeling I remember getting after hearing the first rock records coming across the radio. Musical freedom! Rock gave us a feeling of generational rebellion,” he continued.

“To me, America has always been great. The cultural differences had a huge impact on me, this was the land of the possible. It’s not easy to end the big part of my life that touring with The Who has been.”

“Thanks for being there for us and look forward to seeing you one last time,” Daltrey added.

Guitarist Pete Townshend said that “all good things must come to an end.”
