Pete Townshend clarifies controversial comments about his late bandmates
“They were fucking difficult to play with,” Townshend said in the interview, sparking criticism. “They never, ever managed to create bands for themselves. I think my musical discipline, my musical efficiency as a rhythm player, held the band together.""No one can ever know how much I miss Keith and John, as people, as friends and as musicians.
"But I am sincerely grateful to have had these second and third incarnations as a member of what we still dare to call The Who – once after Keith passed, then again after John passed," he continued. "I do thank God for this, but I was being ironic in my own English way by suggesting it is something I am glad about. I can be grateful to be free as a player and writer, but sad about losing old friends. It does feel ironic, and it also makes me angry.
He went on to apologize to the late musician's children, Chris Entwistle and Mandy Moon, as well as to the fans. "I understand that a lot of long-time Who fans will be hurt by the way it comes across as a headline. I only hope that they know me well enough that I tell the truth as much as I can, but I also tell both sides and the upside is missing in the headlines."
