It’s been reported that Pete Townshend has sold his image rights, including that of his name to a group called Primary Wave. It also, according to the Variety, includes “certain music rights.”
The details of the deal have yet to be confirmed, but it looks like Spirit Music, who bought Townshend’s publishing rights in 2017 for over $100 million, no longer holds the rights to the likes of My Generation, Won’t Get Fooled Again et al. Variety suggests these are all part of the Primary Wave deal.
