Roger Daltrey recently disclosed during his performance at the Royal Albert Hall on March 27, 2025, that he has been dealing with certain health issues for some time. According to the New York Post, he is having trouble with vision and hearing abilities.
Known as the co-founder of the rock band The Who, Roger had a thriving solo career, bringing out albums such as McVicar, One of the Boys, and Parting Should Be Painless. Notably, the singer’s fortune is estimated to be almost $90 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
Roger Daltrey appeared on stage with purple-tinted glasses, saying that he had a left knee replacement a few weeks ago, resulting from an injury he suffered while dancing. According to People magazine, the Buddy’s Song star also told the crowd at the same time:
“The joys of getting old mean you go deaf. I also now have got the joy of going blind. Fortunately I still have my voice, because then I’ll have a full Tommy.”
In addition, Daltrey had a crack in his voice when he was performing, and he told the crowd in response:
“No apologies, I f**ked up.”
Roger’s health update comes around seven years after he told the audience during a solo performance in Las Vegas that he had become deaf due to loud music used during the events where he has appeared throughout his career, as reported by TMZ.
