Roger Daltrey was on the Graham Norton show on Friday.

He's 74!
74 for God's sake. How does he look that good and sing like that at 74?

Didn’t see the show, but he’s amazing for his age. He’s always looked younger than his years. And that voice - one of the best rock singers ever.

Another 74-year-old will soon be dancing and singing
non-stop for a couple of hours in front of many thousands of people.

Amazing, isn't it?
A few years ago a 74 year old singer would have been half sitting on a stool, wearing a tuxedo and singing 'fly me to the moon' with either a single pianist or a full orchestra.

Even the 70-year-old youngsters are still touring.

When Wilko emerged from his problems I went to HMV in Oxford Street to meet him and have a CD signed. The staff told me he was poorly again and someone had agreed to stand in for him.

"Oh, yes? And who is it...?"
"Roger Daltrey. Do you still want to queue?"
"Yes, please."

What a nice guy. Greeted me, looked me in the eye, shook my hand, listened to my drivel, signed my CD, shook my hand and said goodbye.

Bewildering. I met Roger Daltrey. Of The Who. Y'know, he sang My Generation and Won't Get Fooled Again. He played Woodstock. Nice guy.
