We are going on First show Hollywood Bowl (THE WHO)

Pray for us John, wherever you are.

Calling for a Bass Player, must know who songs

[Numbers Guy]

Pino Palladino, a British session player, will be playing at least the first few shows. He played with Townshend on his solo albums and solo tours. I know that his work on Townshend's "White City" album was superb, not familiar with his other work.

I don't have a problem with them going on, but I think they should offer fans the chance to get a refund if they so desire. That would be fairest (plus some of us could scoop up the good seats that get returned).

"Hope I die before I get old"

Careful what you ask for.

[TLBSHOW]

I had not heard that, thanks!

[N. Theknow]

Who's in the Hollywood Bowl!

What?

No! Who! What's on second.

[Benrand]

Pino's a good bass player.

I have tix for Indy and I don't care if John's not there, (though I really do), I want to see the band before *I* get old...RIP Ox.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Uh, no. That's not the Rolling Stones.

From a Who Press Release


Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey of The WHO have today confirmed that their US tour is to go ahead despite the death of fellow band member, bassist John Entwistle.

Both Daltrey and Townshend view the tour as a "tribute to John Entwistle", and to the loss of an irreplaceable friend. They have called upon legendary bass player Pino Palladino to play in Entwistle's honor and Palladino graciously accepted the opportunity to perform, in tribute to his friend.

The Entwistle family is in full support of the decision to continue and feel this is what John would have wanted. His son Christopher said today " He lived for music and will always live within The WHO's music. This is what he would have wished and our love goes out to the remaining band members and the entourage that makes up THE WHO family."

Bill Curbishley WHO Manager
