So, I want to write it and if I don't think it's a good book, we'll throw it in the bin. (I thought) 'I didn't just want a book and I don't know if I've got a good book in me. The story doesn't feel like it's come to a point where there's a gracious ending not that we're there yet, I hope that there's more to come. By talking charge of the project before dollar one had changed hands, he ensured that his autobiography was his and his alone: “I was offered enormous amounts of money - more money than I actually got for my book, five years ago. Daltrey told us told us that he needed to prove to himself the book was worth being read by anyone other than him. Pete (Townshend) and I both have to wear hearing aids and it's no fun taking them out without them, life's a mumble.”Īlthough he possesses what many feel is the quintessential rock voice - Daltrey said he's not a fan of his own singing, and listed off whom he listens to: “I love voices like Joan Armatrading, Smokey Robinson, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Plant, Paul Weller, and Van Morrison - his voice is the same as it always was.”įans were amazed at the candor in which Roger Daltrey discussed his open marriage and past dalliances on the road in his 2018 memoir, Thanks A Lot Mr. I couldn't.”ĭaltrey, who's dealt with hearing issues for decades, offered up some advice to kids walking around with earbuds blasting music into their heads, saying, “Young people should stop listening to such loud music.

And I became the person I am today, which is a totally different character than it was all those years ago.Roger Daltrey considers it a blessing that three of his illegitimate daughters came forward in the 1990's. The whole tribe of us used to go on holiday together. Jackie married again and had two other kids. But to do what I had to do was very, very hard. I can give them all a better life,” he noted. “In my head, what was going on was, ‘If I can make this work, I can look after everyone in my family – Jackie, Simon my son, Mum, Dad, everyone.
