It's official.  The Who today confirmed that they are postponing all remaining dates on their "THE WHO HITS 50!" North American tour, including a stop at Milwaukee's BMO Harris Bradley Center on Oct. 13.

The band had initially postponed only four shows on doctor’s orders after Roger Daltrey contracted what was being called "a mystery virus."

Initially, it was hoped that the rest of the tour might proceed, but after extensive tests the
seriousness of his condition became apparent when doctors diagnosed Roger as having viral
Meningitis and prescribed a period of rest.

In a statement, Daltrey said he had been especially looking forward to the Teen Cancer
America benefit in Los Angeles, a charity that he and The Who have worked a lot with. "We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way. For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral Meningitis. I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover. The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year."

Pete Townshend, of the band, added, "We are rescheduling all the shows for next Spring 2016. We apologize to all our fans who have supported us in the last 50 years. Once Roger is completely well we will come back stronger than ever and Roger and I will give you all a show to remember."

Tickets for the original dates will be honored for the new shows, which will be announced shortly.
