(COMTEX) A: Daltrey Grieves By Playing Live A: Daltrey Grieves By Playing Live Jul 02, 2002 (WENN via COMTEX) -- JOHN ENTWISTLE's family urged THE WHO bandmates ROGER DALTREY and PETE TOWNSHEND to press on with their American tour because the late bass player lived for the group's concerts. Speaking before last night's (01JUL02) HOLLYWOOD BOWL show, the group's first since the death of Entwistle last week (27JUN02), singer Daltrey joked there was only one thing his pal enjoyed as much as playing live - fishing. He said, "If John had it his way we would probably have been on the road 365 days a year. No, make that 351 as he would have still wanted to have his two weeks fishing. "John lived his life for the road and to play live on stage and I'm sure he would want us to be doing this as I know his family does." Daltrey also feels that performing in front of fans will help the grieving process. He adds, "It seems to me the best way is to play our music - the music he helped to create. The spirit of John Entwistle is intrinsically woven into every song we play. "By playing our music I believe we can help ourselves and our fans grieve and begin to come to terms with our loss, huge as it is. "We have to accept that life has to go on. We are only a mirror image of our audience. They too lose people and try to move on with their lives and we have to do the same. "I take a leap into the unknown with a heavy heart but an open spirit and I thank the support and loyalty of all our friends, crew and fans." (KL/WN/MCM) (c) 2002 WORLD ENTERTAINMENT NEWS NETWORK.
