Daltrey: Write a memoir? I can’t recall my life

-

THE Who’s Roger Daltrey has revealed the biggest problem to writing his autobiogra­phy – he can’t remember parts of his life.

The 74-year-old singer said: ‘The scariest thing about the memoir is that I have had four serious concussion­s in my life. There are huge gaps and I wonder why. But there is no wonder why.’

The worst incident was in 1996, when he was knocked unconsciou­s with a microphone stand by Gary Glitter in rehearsals for a performanc­e of the band’s rock opera Quadrophen­ia in Hyde Park.

He said: ‘I broke my eye socket. I was out for 20 minutes. I did the show with a patch holding my eye in. That is a little bit concerning.’
