The Who’s Roger Daltrey Reveals He Is Going Blind at Age 81

Daltrey shared the news during a Teenage Cancer Trust concert, reflecting on aging, health challenges, and his enduring commitment to the charity.

Roger Daltrey announced during a Teenage Cancer Trust concert on March 27, 2025, that he has been told he is going blind, adding to his existing hearing issues.
Daltrey expressed gratitude for retaining his singing voice, humorously referencing the band's 1969 rock opera 'Tommy.'
At 81, Daltrey has candidly spoken about aging and mortality, acknowledging the physical toll of his decades-long career.
In 2024, he stepped down as curator of the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts after 24 years, passing the role to Robert Smith of The Cure, but remains an active patron.
The Who continues to perform, with a second Royal Albert Hall concert scheduled for March 30, 2025, as Daltrey and Pete Townshend discuss the band's future.
