The Who's Roger Daltrey doesn't think Brexit will be bad for British rock musicians

18 March 2019, 15:07 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

The Who's Roger Daltrey doesn't believe British rock musicians will be affected by Brexit.

In a short video interview with Sky, Daltrey showed his distaste for talk around Brexit. When asked if Brexit will affect British rock musicians, Daltrey replied, "No. What's it got to do with the rock business?"

His snappy nature continued when the journalist asked how they would tour Europe after Brexit, "Oh dear. As if we didn't tour in Europe before the fucking EU. Oh give it up."

After an awkward chuckle, Daltrey returns to call the EU a "mafia", "If you want to sign up to be ruled by a fucking mafia you do it. Like being governed by FIFA." Check out the clip below.

In October 2018, Daltrey expressed similar views on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, stating, "It might be a bit more paperwork on this side of the Channel. I’m sure they can make it hard if they want to but these things work both ways."

The Who will play Wembley Stadium on 6 July as part of their world tour. Find out more.
