Pete Townshend has questioned why fashionable musicians together with Taylor Swift insist on such a rigorous touring schedule.

It’s true, Swift is a pop star in her personal league and the American singer-songwriter is on the street performing the Eras Tour; a 3-hour showcase celebrating every “period” of her albums.

In a current interview with Document Collector, Townshend questions why fashionable musicians, like Swift, must work “so fucking arduous” to maintain issues going.

“Why does being a rock star must be so fucking arduous? Why does Taylor Swift must work so fucking arduous? Why does Bob Dylan must be on the street one year a yr? Why do The Rolling Stones must exit once they’re all of their fucking 80s?” he questions.

Townshend provides, “What’s it that drives them to do that? I’m simply not in that gang. I don’t hate being onstage – I’m fairly good at it – however clearly I don’t get it from the place Taylor Swift will get it.”

It’s no secret Swift loves being on stage as her record-breaking Eras Tour proves. The singer’s mega tour is predicted to make round $2bn (£1.56bn) in income by the point it finishes, twice as a lot as earlier record-holder Elton John whose Farewell Yellow Brick Street tour made $939m (£730m).
