The Who 'best album yet'

Legendary rock band The Who are set to release their "best album yet".

Frontman Roger Daltrey has revealed guitarist Pete Townshend, 62, is writing tracks for a follow-up LP to last-year's long-awaited comeback 'Endless Wire', and has promised fans they won't be disappointed.

Daltrey said: "Pete is writing new material at the moment. Some of his song ideas sound really intriguing, and as usual Pete is never dull.

"I've always been of the opinion that he will write some of his best work when he's an older man, so I'm still living in hope!"

The Who - with an original line-up including Keith Moon on drums and bass guitarist John Entwistle - formed in 1964 and enjoyed huge success with classic hits such as 'Pinball Wizard' and 'My Generation' before splitting in 1983.

Moon died of a drug overdose at the height of the band's success in 1978, while Entwistle passed away in 2002 of a heart attack reportedly caused by cocaine use.

'Endless Wire', The Who's first studio album in 24 years, reached the top 10 in both the US and the UK charts.
