The Who's Roger Daltrey Says He Got 'Very, Very Seriously Ill Touring'

The Who's frontman Roger Daltrey has revealed that he has struggled with health problems when touring.

Daltrey, who recently underwent an operation to remove a pre-cancerous growth, told Rolling Stone he struggled to understand how touring had affected his health.

"I was having terrible trouble hearing what I was singing and it did get to me," he said.

"In fact, I've been suffering for quite a few of the previous tours. I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts."

"So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalised with serious problems."

Daltrey also revealed that his band mate Pete Townshend was having problems with his hearing. The guitarist has been a long-time sufferer from tinnitus.
