The Who guitarist Pete Townshend has revealed Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten was his number one choice for the cult film Quadrophenia.

Townshend was speaking to Music-News after an acoustic performance at the Royal Albert Hall, and said the plans to cast Johnny may have fallen through after a night’s drinking with the director.

The Who guitarist and chief songwriter Pete Townshend has said he believes ‘Quadrophenia‘ is ‘the last definitive Who album’, and along with 1969′s ‘Tommy‘ and 1971′s ‘Who’s Next‘, is one of only three albums the band recorded which he describes as ‘landmark’.

The Who‘s Roger Daltrey will headline this year’s Bluesfest in Australia, with The Pogues and My Morning Jacket also booked to perform, reports the Daily Telegraph.
