In October 2022, THE WHO released a new version of the 2019 album "Who" featuring an updated version of "Beads On One String" newly remixed by guitarist Pete Townshend and acoustic tracks from the band's only live shows of 2020. But record companies, they just don't do the same job as they used to." It's quite interesting that they're picking up on our music. The frontman then explained that the band's fanbase now ranges "from 80 years old all the way down to eight years old", adding: "We've got quite a lot of young people in our audience these days. It's a great album too, but there isn't the interest out there for new music these days. Last month, Daltrey seemingly ruled out the possibility of a new studio album from THE WHO, telling NME: "What's the point? What's the point of records? We released an album four years ago, and it did nothing. The trouble now is if you get COVID after the first show, you've (lost) that money." To earn that back, if you're doing a 12-show run, you don't start to earn it back until the seventh or eighth show. We cannot get insured and most of the big bands doing arena shows, by the time they do their first show and rehearsals and get the staging and crew together, all the buses and hotels, you're upwards $600,000 to a million in the hole. He added: "Touring has become very difficult since COVID. I never say never, but at the moment it's very doubtful." But that's one tall order to sing that piece of music, as I'll be 80 next year. There is only one tour we could do, an orchestrated 'Quadrophenia' to round out the catalog. I don't know if we'll ever come back to tour America. In a new interview with USA Today, THE WHO frontman Roger Daltrey was asked if there are any plans for the band to tour the U.S.
