Roger Daltrey says he craved normality at the height of his fame with ground-breaking band The Who, and admits his enormous success distanced him from his old friends.
Speaking to Piers Morgan during Thursday’s edition of Good Morning Britain, the 76-year old touched on his time with The Who after being asked what he misses most in lockdown.
Says Roger: "Human contact. That’s what I didn’t like about being a celebrity. It kind of distanced me from my mates and everyone treated me differently immediately after I became famous. I didn't like that. I never wanted to be different. I like to just chat to people and be treated normally. I just miss that human contact."
