The Who will perform at the London edition of Live 8, to be held July 2nd in Hyde Park. They join a star-studded lineup that already includes U2, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Elton John, Sting, Coldplay and a one-off reunion of Pink Floyd.
The Who, who haven’t performed in nearly a year, now consist of founding members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, with drummer Zack Starkey, bassist Pino Paladino and keyboardist John “Rabbit” Bundrick.
Townshend is currently juggling a number of projects, including an autobiography entitled Who He?, as well as a long-planned solo project, The Boy Who Heard Music. This activity, unfortunately, has once again delayed a new Who album, provisionally entitled Who2.
