Roger Daltrey, at age sixty-four, is very health-conscious nowadays, and apparently was quite conscious of it back in the day. Seems that while his rock and roll mates were getting blasted on drugs, booze, and who knows what else, Daltrey refused to overindulge in the stuff. He said:

“I did try some of the drugs, but singers need to be incredibly fit. I wanted to be a good singer, and I could not do it with drugs inside me. It was lonely, especially through the cocaine snowstorm that was the 1980s. All around me, people’s personalities were changing. And everyone becomes incredibly dull on cocaine.”

Good for Roger. Glad he stuck to his guns, didn’t go crazy, and kept his performances right up there. Love The Who!
