"I've been touring for the money": Pete Townshend opens up as he considers one final tour world from The Who before they "crawl off to die"

.

Pete Townshend has revealed that he'd like The Who to play one final world tour, while admitting that he plays live mainly to support his lifestyle. Townshend made the revelations in a new interview with the New York Times, when he was asked if the band had any unfinished business.

"I do and I think I will," says Townshend. "It feels to me like there’s one thing The Who can do, and that’s a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die. I don’t get much of a buzz from performing with the Who. If I’m really honest, I’ve been touring for the money. My idea of an ordinary lifestyle is pretty elevated."
