Roger Daltrey has announced he will be performing the classic Who album Tommy in full this summer.
The performance will take place during Daltrey’s 10 city summer tour in the US this summer, where he will be accompanied by a local orchestra on each date.
“I’m really looking forward to singing Tommy, not only with my great backing group, but also some of the finest orchestras in the country,” Daltrey said in a statement. “Pete Townshend’s rock music is particularly suited to being embellished by the sounds that an orchestra can add to the band. With the arrangements written by David Campbell, it should make a memorable night of entertainment for all those who love the arts.”
