The Who fans will get a chance to have a selfie taken with the 1964 scooter to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity, which The Who’s Roger Daltrey is an honorary patron of.
Following the end of the tour, the scooter was stored in Daltrey’s garage in pieces and almost beyond repair, before being restored earlier this year with the help of Daltrey’s son-in-law, Des Murphy. Murphy enlisted the expertise of Aaron White from South Coast Customs and Pro Design Scooter Works.
The legendary rock band will perform to a sold out crowd and close this year’s Eden Sessions season, which has seen Lionel Richie, Yungblud, The War on Drugs, Jack Johnson, Incubus, Pet Shop Boys, Kasabian and Anne-Marie put on phenomenal shows in front of the famous Biomes.
Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and band will take to the stage backed by a full orchestra on July 25.
Since emerging onto the rock ‘n’ roll scene in the mid-1960s, The Who has celebrated a remarkable musical journey, playing more than 2,000 gigs and headlining renowned festivals and stadiums the world over.
Debuting in 1964 with anthems like “I Can’t Explain,” “The Kids Are Alright,” and “My Generation,” The Who has since delivered chart-toppers including “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and “You Better You Bet.”
