THE WHO rocker ROGER DALTREY is terrified about the
band's upcoming European tour - fearing his
performance skills are rusty.

The veteran frontman, 62, insists people who think
performing to thousands of fans, night after night, is
easy are very much mistaken.

He says, "I'm getting nervous because we haven't done
it for two years. At my age you're thinking, 'Can I
still f**king do it?' "I'm sure when we get out there
it will be fine, but at the moment I'm totally
nerve-wracked with it.

"It's hard. People don't realise, they look and think,
'I could do that, it's easy,' but it's f**king not.
It's a lot of work. It's a lot of intense
concentration.

"It's a lot of fun too, but it's also a lot of
discipline, especially as a singer. And it's wicked
discipline, 'cos I want to party and I love partying,
but you can't do it and sing well in The Who.

"People pay a lot of money and they don't want someone
up there croaking." The band's 2006 tour will be their
first since 2004 since their brief appearance at
London's Live 8 concert last summer.
