The Who toured in 1989 to replenish John Entwistle's empty bank account. They toured again in 1996 to replenish John Entwistle's empty bank account.
Entwistle made tons of money and he spent even more tons of money.
When he died in 2002, facedown, "Scarface-style" in a mountain of cocaine and a harem of top-shelf Vegas hookers picking through his pockets, his estate had to be liquidated to pay his creditors.
I actually liked Pete’s solo stuff, especially “White City” with David Gilmour. It was a needed break from The Who.
Some would say that is not a bad way to go.
