The Who postpones N. American tour
NEW YORK
The Who announced Friday that it is postponing all 50 dates of “The Who Hits 50!” tour this fall – including the Oct. 23 concert at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh – because lead singer Roger Daltrey has contracted viral meningitis. He’s feeling better but says he’s under doctors’ orders to rest.
Earlier, the band had postponed the first four gigs of the tour that was to begin this week, hoping Daltrey would be well enough to continue. But when meningitis was diagnosed, the tour was shut down.
Guitarist Pete Townshend said the band is rescheduling the tour for next spring.
