Roger Daltreys microphone-swinging days are over

Rock star Roger Daltreys has said that he can no longer show his trademark microphone-swinging stage antics due to his weakened eyesight.

Washington, November 2 : Rock star Roger Daltrey's has said that he can no longer show his trademark microphone-swinging stage antics due to his weakened eyesight.

'The Who' frontman is afraid that he may look foolish if he loses a microphone in the lights after hurling it into the air.

Daltrey almost blinded Gary Glitter during rehearsals for the band's Quadrophenia shows in London a decade ago, when he hit him with a stray microphone.

He has now decided never to repeat his famous stage technique.

"I got very good at it. I could probably have taken a cigarette out of someone's mouth (swinging the microphone)," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"I wouldn't dare try it now, because I can't see it anymore. I throw it and from then on I'm thinking, `Where's it gone?' and hopefully it'll come back somewhere where I might be able to catch it," he added.
