Overview
Roger Daltrey is a founder of the quartet The Who. In his own voice, this is the story of his birth— in the worst days of the bombings that devastated the London capital— through his no less stormy school adventures that led to his early expulsion at age 15. Though if it weren't for his expulsion, he likely would not have followed the path that he did, the one that led him to become a rock 'n' roll star. He would build his first guitar with his own hands, making use of the scraps from his workshop. He would form his first band, it would become The Who and, because of his unwavering determination, Roger Daltrey would proclaim himself the leader of one of the largest groups of the time.Author Biography
