Pete Townshend has revealed that he is planning to embark on some solo shows once his farewell tour with The Who wraps up.

The rock icons are currently out on their final run of U.S. shows, dubbed “The Song Is Over North America Farewell Tour.”

Speaking to AARP magazine, Townshend said he plans to embark on what he referred to as “one-man” solo outings after he and singer Roger Daltrey finish their current run of shows.

“We reserve the right to pop up again,” Townshend said of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band that announced their first final tour in 1982. “But I think one thing is very clear: that at our age, we will not.”

“I’ve got songs in all kinds of development, 140 tracks ready to go,” he said. “On The Age of Anxiety, [based on his 2019 first novel], I’ve got 26 songs. It’s not not autobiographical, but the scope of my own mental journey through addiction and recovery has led me to a place where I feel that I can write a character, a genuine, realistic character — youngish, who, rather than be depressed, has an acuity, a kind of instant, psychic feeling, and he decides that he wants to really dig in to make his audience as happy as they possibly can be.”
