Pete Townshend Criticizes Female Music Fans

News summary

Pete Townshend, the 79-year-old co-founder of The Who, discussed the band's historical appeal, noting that female fans have tended to be 'fickle' and often switch loyalties between bands. In a recent interview, he attributed this phenomenon to the rapid success and overwhelmingly female fanbase of modern groups like One Direction, contrasting them with The Who's early male-dominated audience. Townshend's comments came in the wake of the tragic death of One Direction member Liam Payne, which prompted reflections on fame and hedonism in rock music. He emphasized that The Who's hedonistic lifestyle was driven by their youth and quick rise to fame rather than wealth, as they initially struggled financially. Townshend also announced plans for a U.S. tour with Roger Daltrey in 2025, highlighting their enduring legacy despite changing musical landscapes.
