The Who announce farewell tour: How to get tickets for The Song is Over tour
Hear this story The Who famously sang 'I hope I die before I get old' in 'My Generation,' but the legendary British rockers aren't allowing age to prevent them from one final lap around North America this summer. The band fronted by singer Roger Daltrey, 81, and guitarist Pete Townshend, who turns 80 May 19, will kick off the aptly named The Song is Over North American Farewell Tour – billed as a 'truly grand finale' – Aug. 16 just outside of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and wrap in Las Vegas Sept. 28. The 16-show run, named for a song on The Who's classic 1971 album, 'Who's Next,' will visit cities including Atlantic City, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia and Seattle and showcase hits from the band's six-decade career.

Fans can join the Whooligan Fan Club at to receive exclusive merchandise including the previously unreleased album 'Live at the Oval 1971,' in addition to early access to tickets. Daltrey and Townshend both commented on the proverbial end of the road and the importance of the U.S. and Canada to the band's career – an epic resume that boasts 58 singles with many such as 'I Can't Explain,' 'I Can See for Miles,' 'Pinball Wizard,' 'Won't Get Fooled Again' and 'Baba O'Riley' ingrained in music history. 'To me, America has always been great. The cultural differences had a huge impact on me, this was the land of the possible,' Daltrey said in the tour announcement. 'It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible," Townshend added. "The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal. Today, Roger and I still carry the banner for the late Keith Moon (who died in 1978) and John Entwistle (who died in 2002) and of course, all of our longtime Who fans.'
