Frontman Roger Daltrey has revealed potential plans of The Who recording a brand new album this year.

Speaking to NME at the launch of this March's Teenage Cancer Trust gigs, which he curates, Daltrey said that guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend had a wealth of new material written. 

"Pete's got hundreds of songs," he said, "so the only question is whether we get around to it, but he wants to make an album and I'm always ready and raring to go. We'll see. I never know what I'm doing next, it's about what comes through my letterbox tomorrow, but I don't see why we wouldn't."

He added: "My voice is still in good shape. The hearing isn't so great, but the voice is fine."

When asked if the band had any plans to mark The Who's 50th anniversary, Daltrey replied: "I don't know. Possibly it'll be this album. I haven't thought about it, to be honest. We didn't think it was going to last the week, let alone 50 years. We were The Who, we used to break up after every show."

The Teenage Cancer Trust gigs take place between 24 - 30 March. As well as the musical guests, comedians such as Jason Manford, John Bishop and Micky Flanagan are also set to perform.

Each act will have their own night, with The Cure set to play a full three hour show on 29 March - their second for Teenage Cancer Trust. Meanwhile, Suede are planning to perform their second album Dog Man Star in full, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release.

Tickets go on sale on Friday 31 January at 9.30am. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
