The Who‘s remaining 2015 anniversary tour dates, which would have taken them right through to December and across North America, have been cancelled.

The illness being suffered by frontman Roger Daltrey – which caused the tour’s start to be delayed earlier this month – has been revealed to be viral meningitis, and although Daltrey says he is now thankfully on the mend, he will need some time yet to fully recover.

“We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way,” he states. “For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral Meningitis. I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover.”

“The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year.”

Daltrey and Pete Townshend plan to return in 2016, and expect to rearrange these affected dates.
