Roger Daltrey of the rock band The Who has revealed that he is slowly going deaf and blind after turning 81 on March 1.
“The joys of getting old mean you go deaf. I also now have got the joy of going blind,” Daltrey told the crowd at London’s Royal Albert Hall during a concert on Thursday, March 27, per Sky News.

He’s one of us. Roger Daltrey was a strong supporter of Brexit, opposes illegal immigration, and said a “dead dog” would have defeated the unlikable Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I’ve been half deaf my whole life but now it’s gradually getting worse.

He’s already outlived most rock and rollers. Seems like a lot of them barely get past 70.

At 81, if you are not losing some sight and hearing, then you are pretty abnormal. The media is making a mountain out of a molehill, again.

When TOMMY came to our local town, hubby and I stayed at the theater and watched the entire movie 3 or 4 times — maybe 5 times. (The memories are a bit fuzzy).
