Roger Daltrey has told the Evening Standard that having to come to terms
with the death of Who bassist John Entwistle while dealing with the scandal
surrounding Pete Townshend's child porn charges made 2003 a very bad year. But he reckons he and Pete have learned a lot from the experience.
Daltrey: "With Pete, I have watched a friend being brutalised for making what I think was a very stupid mistake - and I think there was nothing more to what he did than that. That was all very painful. But we both re-evaluated our life completely after that."
On coming to terms with the death of Entwistle, who died in Jun 2002, he added: "It's kind of rekindled my belief that music transcends life. When we play live, John is alive in the music - the same way Keith (Moon) is. We can still feel the both of them there when we play."
