LAS VEGAS, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Pete Townshend and
Roger Daltrey of The WHO have today confirmed that
their US tour is to go ahead despite the death of
fellow band member, bassist John Entwistle.  The Las
Vegas show on 6/28 and the Irvine CA. 6/29 show will
be re-scheduled for later in the tour.  Details will
follow shortly.
    Both Daltrey and Townshend view the tour as a
"tribute to John Entwistle", and to the loss of an
irreplaceable friend.  The Entwistle family is in full
support of the decision to continue and feel this is
what John would have wanted.  His son Christopher said
today "He lived for music and will always live within
The WHO's music.  This is what he would have wished
and our love goes out to the remaining band members
and the entourage that makes up THE WHO family."
