Roger Daltrey Pays Tribute to John Entwistle During Solo London Show

Roger Daltrey has said when it came to singing harmonies the Who were superior to the Beach Boys. His jokey proclamation came while paying tribute to late bandmate and bassist John Entwistle during Daltrey's solo Teenage Cancer Trust show at London's Royal Albert Hall on Thursday night (March 24).

As his expansive set reached its conclusion the singer told the crowd (via the NME), "Back in the '70s we used to love doing harmonies. The Beach Boys, we s--- on them."

He continued, "John always had the loudest voice, he had the voice of an angel. So this is for him and all those guys out there who are sent to terrible places like Afghanistan."

Daltrey's set included a full performance of the Who's rock opera 'Tommy' during which guitarist Pete Townshend made a surprise appearance, taking on vocal duties for 'The Acid Queen.' He later returned for the night's penultimate number 'Baba O'Riley'.

Townshend's cameo followed his revelation this week that he regrets having joined the Who. As previously reported by Spinner, the 65-year said, "What would I have done differently? I would never have joined a band."
