Overview
ROGER DALTREY said he fell ill with pneumonia after shooting an album cover.
He said making the sleeve for The Who's 1967 album "The Who Sell Out", which features Daltrey sitting in a bath filed with Heinz baked beans, resulted in him getting ill.
He said the industrial sized can of beans he had to sit in had been frozen before being used in the photoshoot.
He said: "It's just the way they arrived, these two huge army-sized tins.
"So to solve the problem, someone stuck an electric fire up my arse at the back of the tub. The back of me was cooking, and the front of me was freezing, and so I got pneumonia."
Daltrey is once again curating the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs, which take place from March 24-29 and feature Kasabian, Stereophonics and Florence And The Machine.
