"GO FUCK YOURSELF": Roger Daltrey On Coronavirus Guidelines

Roger Daltrey: ‘Go f*** yourselves!’ The Who star hits out over being told to ‘stay in’ 

Roger Daltrey, 76, has said he is proud of the British public for their resilience in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. The Who frontman admitted he would “clap all day long” for the nation’s healthcare workers and frontline staff, but blamed experts for creating confusion over the lockdown. 

Despite being in a high-risk age group, the English rocker said he would not be told to stay in by anyone. The musician commented: “I live in the countryside so it’s a lot easier, I cannot imagine what it must be like stuck in London in a flat with a couple of kids. 

“I’m not moaning about anything but equally as a 76-year-old, I’m not going to be told by anybody to stay in.” “Go f*** yourselves. We can’t wrap ourselves in cotton wool,” he added. The songwriter went on to say that it was scientists rather than the Government who were causing confusion for the general public amid the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Roger said: “For every academic that’s telling us one thing on the science, there’s any equally academic scientist on the other side of the fence saying: ‘No, you’re wrong and this what we should do.’
