John Entwisle died in a prostitutes arms in Vegas.
Who?
The Song Is Over.
Its good for him he recognized that.
Getting old gracefully is a lesson 65 year-old Madonna would do well to learn
Saw The Who last year. Awesome show. Opened with Tommy, then went to some of their later hits, and then closed with Quadrophenia. Could not have asked for anything more. So glad we had the chance before they stopped touring.
I looked it up. He's 79 years old.
He is about the same age as I am.
How in hell does he have that much hair?
Suggest to any Roger Daltrey and/or The Who fans, his autobiography ‘Thanks a lot Mr. Kibblewhite’. Interesting story of his life, and The Who.
That's a myth ; she died of a heart attack, no ham sandwiches were involved.
Daltry was one SERIOUS athlete, at least by looking at some of the scenes in Tommy. Rumor has it that he might not have even been a drug addict (but don’t hold me to that), which would be a first in that line of work.
The same room and bed though as Keith moon strikes me as a really weird coincidence, true, but weird none the less.
Cass Elliot certainly did not choke on a sandwich.
Several hours after Elliot left Jack Martin’s cocktail party, she died in her sleep at age 32. According to Keith Simpson, who conducted her autopsy, she died of a heart attack, and there were no drugs in her system.
Roger is worth an estimated $100,000,000 dollars. Yeah, he can afford to retire.
“Keith Moon, died at the age of 32 in the same London hotel room as Cass Elliot...”
It’s not that big of a coincidence when you realize it wasn’t a hotel room. It was a flat that was owned by singer Harry Nilsson, who hardly ever used it, so he often let other musicians he was friends with stay there when he wasn’t in London.
“at the moment I’m happy saying that part of my life is over.””
Roger that!
The first time I saw the WHO was at the Long Beach Arena in the early ‘70’s. Townsend went on a profanity laced tirade at the audience (I understand that was not uncommon).
The concert was recorded and released as a bootleg, which became pretty popular.
Evidently Cass Elliot actually didn’t die choking on a ham sandwich. She died of a heart attack.
John Entwistle had the greatest rock and roll death of all of them. Died head buried Scarface-style in a mountain of cocaine with a harem of top-shelf Vegas hookers picking through his pockets.
And the cherry on top, he died in debt to the tax man.
It's crazy to think too that Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son) has been playing drums for The Who for the past 28 years, longer by far than anyone else.
Starkey's Godfather was Keith Moon and the man who taught him to play drums was not his father Ringo but Kenny Jones, the drummer who would replace Keith Moon. And Jones taught Starkey drums on one of Moon's drum kits.
Wasn't it actually Harry Chapin's London apartment and not a hotel room?
Who were you … who who, who who …
