Roger Daltrey says he and Townshend share a different "closeness"

The Who's Roger Daltrey says that his relationship with Pete Townshend has grown deeper due to the work that they do on stage and in the studio. Daltrey spoke to Britain's The Guardian and shed new light on his and Townshend's five decade relationship, explaining that, "Well, I feel very close to him. But we don't have to see each other all the time. It's a different closeness, and I really treasure it for that. The Who is the energy that exists between Pete and I... In that music is our relationship, is our love. I have such a deep love and respect for him, and that goes through all of it."

Daltrey added that the two, who admittedly have been butting heads since their early teens, have mellowed with age and have learned to co-exist peacefully: "He forgives all my foibles, and I forgive all his, and underneath all that I love him dearly."

The Who performed on October 5th in Calgary at Pengrowth Saddledome.
