Longtime Who frontman says these could 'possibly' be his final shows.

It was Kit Lambert, who died on April 7, 1981 at 45 years old from a luckless accident, who first encouraged Pete Townshend to write his own songs in the early '60s.

Whether planned or unplanned, 2025 marked the last time we'll see these legends onstage.

"To what we know as the Who, it's goodbye," Pete Townshend declared after the final song.

The band is currently playing shows around North America on their The Song Is Over farewell tour.

"Pete [Townshend] and I retain the right to be the Who," the singer declares. "Everyone else is a session player.”

Sometimes your best bandmate can become your closest enemy.

Singer says the idea of returning to America is "very doubtful."

"People want to hear the old music," singer said. "I don't know why, but that's the fact."
