Roger Daltrey is given the all clear
The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey has been given the all-clear to continue on what could be their last world tour.
Tuesday March 13, Daltrey walked off stage during the first song much to the disappointment of fans with no exlanation, several minutes after Daltreys departure, Townshend announced that the show had been cancelled. He then told the crowd that Daltrey was suffering from a very bad case of broncitis.
Several shows were cancelled while Daltrey rested and speculation arroused that it may be the end of The Who's current world tour, although this recent message on Pete Townshends blog has left fans with a sigh of relief.
"The last four shows of the tour will go ahead. Roger has been advised by no less then three doctors that he is OK to perform and although I think he may still find the next few days hard (more shows in a row than we normally do) I'm sure we'll be great. Thanks for your patience. See you in Little Rock, Oklahoma, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale."
The Who then resumed its North American tour in Arkansas.
"Boy, it feels good to be out of bed," Daltrey said about 30 minutes into The Who's concert Thursday night at Alltel Arena in Arkansas.
Daltrey sang all but one song in a 95-minute set, resting his voice only when guitarist Pete Townshend sang "Eminence Front."
The band returned for an 18-minute encore, a medley of songs from the rock opera "Tommy," and Daltrey then stayed onstage for an acoustic encore. Throughout the show, Daltrey, 63, could be seen coughing while away from the microphone, and sipping drinks.

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles
From www.nrl.com
Manly's grafting NRL win without three of their stars at the Wests Tigers' fortress Leichhardt on Saturday night has the Sea Eagles believing they might have overcome their Achilles heel, a lack of depth.
The 19-8 victory over the fumbling Tigers was typical of the grind retired lock Ben Kennedy brought to the peninsula but was also achieved without captain Matt Orford, Test veteran Steve Menzies and New Zealand international Steve Matai.
The Sea Eagles have bought big over the past few seasons, signing Kennedy, Orford and representative stars Steve Bell, Jamie Lyon and Brent Kite.
But the perception has lingered that the back-up was thin on the ground.
Regular hooker Michael Monaghan, who starred on Saturday night standing in for Orford at halfback, said the win had shown the club's depth, especially in the form of replacement hooker Matt Ballin, who scored the match-clinching try on debut.
"I think the depth we showed tonight, Matt Ballin in his first game I thought was close to our best player, and (that) shows the competition for spots and the depth of the club at the moment," Monaghan said.
"There's still a couple of other guys there who are pushing their claims for a spot in first grade as well so without those big name players it was a real good effort."
Coach Des Hasler was also pleased with Ballin's debut in wet and windy conditions.
"Playing against one of the number ones in (Tigers hooker Robbie) Farah around the rucks, he was very tidy and very strong in his defence," Hasler said.
Hasler added it was a case of the youngsters starting to come good for Manly, who have now won their opening two matches.
"The side's certainly matured a lot in the past 18 months and I think it's starting to show and some of the players are really starting to display that," he said.
Meanwhile, the near full-strength Tigers have been left facing the question which dogged them in 2006 after two losses from two starts: Was the 2005 premiership a fluke?
But coach Tim Sheens said last year's injury crisis at the club meant he had more depth at his disposal in 2007.
"We'll be better because the guys who got 14 games last year who weren't going to get 14 games have got them this year," he said.
"I'm a little stronger in relation to Chris Lawrences and Shannon McDonnells and these sort of kids."
Sheens signalled that there could be changes to his line-up after on Saturday night's inept display with the ball.
"There's plenty of cohesion in defence, they're working all right although we had a couple of small issues that let us down," he said.
"... we can't be continually losing games with poor handling like that."

First Blog - Gump 2
Well here it is, my first blog, and im allowed to write about anything, something that has caught my attention apparently..
I was reading recently about the making of a Forest Gump sequel which made me curious to how the hell they would make a sequel to that move, it would be like making a sequel to Titanic or something similar.
Apparently six years ago writer Eric Roth was hired to pen a sequel screenplay to his 1994 Oscar-winning hit "Forrest Gump". The eventual script, which was based on Winston Groom's sequel novel "Gump & Co.", was completed but never made and has been sitting in the vaults ever since.
Taking place several years after the events of the first film, it finds Forrest's shrimping business failed and Jenny dead - leaving Forrest a single unemployed father. Gump stumbles through important historical events once again, this time through incidents in the 1980s and 90s including a meeting with actor Tom Hanks.
Now, Cinema blend reports that according to one of their sources the script has been pulled out of cold storage for another look by Gump producers Steve Tisch and Wendy Finerman.
Seems that the project never got off the ground five years ago due to a legal dispute between Paramount and Groom over his royalties from the film adaptation - and so refused to sell them the rights to "Gump & Co.". Now it would appear they have worked things out.
Finerman and Tisch are apparently talking to Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise about returning but things are far from set.
