True to form, surviving Who members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend haven't seen each other during the pandemic. During a chat with BBC Radio, the Who frontman explained, “We have completely different lives, but y'know, who knows where it will go…? I don't know where it will go in the future. All I know is we won't see each other now probably until spring. I haven't seen him for two years. Do I miss seeing him? No. I know what he looks like.”
He went on to say, “”I'll see him when I see him, that space between us doesn't exist because our brains are somewhere else. And when we get together, it's that creative thing that will still be there, I'm confident that it will be. People don't quite understand our relationship. There's creative friction, which is healthy, you’ve got to have that. . . friction is necessary, it's good.”
Daltrey, who first met Townshend in their adolescence, explained, “There's a deep connection between the two of us, but we're not in-our-pocket friends, y'know? It's not like that, but the creative process that we can conjure up between us is incredibly healthy, and there's an awful lot of love in the relationship, that's all I can say.”
