The Who have praised Lady Gaga for becoming an iconic pop act
“What Lady Gaga has done is created an iconic figure who is someone we can get inside. She's a story and it's fascinating to watch - she's like a space oddity,” The Who guitarist Pete Townshend told The Sun.
Meanwhile, The Who have announced a 10-date UK and Ireland tour which will see the band perform their full Quadrophenia album which was originally released in 1973.
The Who have offered Gold Olympic Medallist Bradley Wiggins a “free pass” to any of their upcoming shows. They have said that they are a big fan of the cyclist, who won Tour De France in 2012 and took home BBC's Sport's Personality of the Year Award, and have invited him to see them live.
Speaking to NME, Roger Daltrey said “he is invited to any of our shows. I've written and told him that. I’m sure we will meet him - he has a free pass to any show he likes.”
The Who have previously performed 'Quadrophenia' in the 90's, but Peter Townsend admits that it didn't hve much structure. “There was too much going on — too much story, too many images, too many guests. At one point we had Annie Lennox pretending to be the sea!”
