Daltrey also talked about the death last June of bassist John Entwistle. He said it really wasn't a surprise to him: "John hadn't looked healthy for a long time. I'm a big believer in alternative medicine and healthy living, and I can tell when someone looks ill. I saw it in John's pallor and his eyes. He lived hard and he took risks. Whenever I saw him in the last few years, I always made a habit of giving him a big hug before I left him. I was never sure I'd see him again."
However, Daltrey salutes the way Entwistle went out, in bed with a stripper. He said, "Ask any man what he would prefer--to live to a ripe old age and die alone or to go out shagging your balls off with strippers in Vegas? Come on, let's be honest. It's not a death that any man should be ashamed of."
