The Who are said to be planning to reunite and record a new album.

Frontman Roger Daltrey claims guitarist Pete Townshend has "about 90 songs" for a new record and he wants to stick to the band's iconic sound.

Roger said: "We're not going on the road next year - but we might do an album. The process involves identifying the songs that I can find in me [to sing] emotionally.

"He's [Pete] less adventurous than me - he says he's got all this semi-classical stuff, and I say, 'Look, we can do a jazz album, if it's the two of us, it's still The Who'. "

The musicians could be set to reunite with drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle to record the follow-up 2006's 'Endless Wire' before heading out on tour next year.

Roger said: "It's a symbiotic relationship that comes out in the music, between the two of us, whereas it used to be the four of us. We'll have to see."

The 69-year-old singer says their arena tour in 2013, in which they played their 1973 double album 'Quadrophenia' in its entirety, took its toll on the band.

He said: "We're definitely touring in 2015, that will be the last ever one.

"Not the last shows, but the last tour, as all the schlepping is a killer at our age. It takes six months to recover. Doing 'Quadrophenia' live knocked the f**k out of me, it's like going 10 round with Mike Tyson."
