Roger Daltrey

Singer

The voice behind "My Generation" is still going strong at 81, though one has to wonder if he ever imagined getting this old when he sang about dying before it happened. As The Who's legendary frontman, Sir Roger Daltrey spent decades swinging microphones, smashing expectations, and helping invent the template for rock stardom that countless imitators have followed. He's outlived bandmates, survived the excesses of rock's wildest era, and keeps touring—proving that some of rock's old guard are harder to kill than a Keith Moon drum kit. (98 words)
