Sep. 26, 1965 The Who's managers try to talk the band into keeping Roger Daltrey as singer after he beat up Keith Moon during their Denmark tour. Roger has to promise to be a "Peaceful Perce" and remains on probation for at least six months. #TheWho

Who Row Over Bigger Sound. Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey, may quit the group if a proposed change of style takes place! The Who plan to enlarge their personnel, and have already approached other artists. Said Peter Townshend on Tuesday: "Everybody was getting a bit fed up. We felt the group wasn't getting anywhere. One idea would be to get more members, and I think Roger would prefer to work as a solo singer. "We had an argument in Denmark last week, and Roger said he was going to leave." Commented Roger: "I don't want to become a solo artist, but if the rest of the group agree with Pete, then fair enough, I'll leave. "I haven't thought about the group getting bigger. But I don't think anything will come of it. What groups don't quarrel from time to time?"
