If you're sad that The Who did a farewell tour last year, don't be, because according to Roger Daltrey, the classic rock band isn't finished yet.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine out on Thursday, May 28, Daltrey says that the band still has "farewell tours" of England, Australia and the rest of the world up ahead. But the catch is that those tours won't happen until 2027.

"It won't fall into this year because Pete's going to have another knee op, which puts him out of action for a long while," Daltrey said of his bandmate, Pete Townshend. "And I've had a few things to deal with health-wise in the time off, but we're hoping to finish it all off next year."

What's even better is that Daltrey says The Who won't even stop after those farewell tours. He says they'll still be open to perform if they "get invited to do a charity gig or something."

He adds, "What I’m trying to say is we are not retired. [It's just that] we don’t want to do another tour of America."

In addition to The Who, Daltrey has a solo U.S. tour up ahead for later this year and also told the magazine that he wants to keep doing his solo shows as long as he's physically able.

"Voices are voices: They don't last forever, that's a fact," he said in the interview. "Mine is incredibly powerful and still is. I'm very lucky to have it there, but equally it might go tomorrow, and if it does go tomorrow, I won't be seeing you in August, it's as simple as that."

"I’m 82 years old and still got good energy, still can deliver it well. But I can’t do any more than that. I can only do my best and whatever happens, happens. If it’s still like this when I’m 90, I’ll still be doing it."
