That’s how you feel as you’re getting older. You used to walk down the street with cocky bravado and now it’s, “I hope I don’t get blown over!”
I’m not a tough guy, I’m just five-foot-four and a half of bloody muscle, that’s all I am. (laughs) I am 75 years old and I don’t bounce.

Interesting and selfless comment from you, Andrew. 👌🏼
I’ve just found another version of Roger’s song ‘Giving It All Away’. It is absolutely beautiful, just like Roger’s voice, and Roger looks exactly as he did in the movie ‘Tommy’, with his gorgeous curly locks. The singer also plays the acoustic guitar, and very well, I might add. One of the first pictures of him that I stuck on my wall at 15 years of age was of Rodge playing an acoustic guitar.
Roger was my first rock idol.
Another video of Roger singing the same song had a picture of him as he appears in the film, only in this case, in the form of wallpaper which covers Victoria Russell’s bedroom walls. I would have done anything to have had the same wallpaper, but that was long before the internet sold whatever it was you required. I bet it would cost a pretty penny to purchase now!
The picture featured on one of his solo albums as the front
cover picture. I’ve never actually seen the album, but I did see ‘Ride A Rock Horse’.
⭐️ Victoria Russell is the daughter of the late, great film director, Ken Russell. Ken was 5ft7 and did a bit of acting too, but he was chiefly a film director.

I'm 171cm and Roger Daltrey was taller than me when I met him and I was wearing hiking boots. He was wearing flats and was still taller than me. He's at least 5'8½ in his peak!

Eek! That was meant to be The WHO Sellout!
Roger, like Jimmy Page, will be turning 79 this year. When I was 15 and found out that he was in his early 30s, I cried! 😂
I thought, “He’ll never be interested in me now!”
I thought he was in his late teens/early 20s when I first saw Tommy, which was on the 15th January, 1976. Then I got to know all about him and found out that he was happily married, to a model named Heather. He has two daughters with her, Rosie and Willow, and son Jamie came along later. Roger has a son by his first marriage, who little younger than me.
😁👍🏼

Excellent! We now have a programme in The Whi Sellout. I borrowed it from the library at 15, and yes, it’s the album that stated their heights.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken in this scene: Roger is shut in a room and some pungent gas is emanating from various white model buttocks! 😂😂😂👌🏼 He is coughing and spluttering, and I’m assuming the bums have been put there by a husband or two who he’s upset!
How very Ken Russell!

I can honestly say that I liked the music of Franz Liszt the second time I saw it, that’s this year, not back in 1976!
Ooh! This really is rather rude! 😮
5ft5.75 back then; 5ft4.75 now.

I’m rolling around in ecstasy here as I have just found an AFFORDABLE copy of Lisztomania! This time, I typed in ‘Ken Russell Films’ and was presented with several. I also ordered Altered States.
Ken was 5ft7 and as individual and inventive a director as there’s ever been! He did a bit of acting too.

Roger played Franz Liszt in the Ken Russell film ‘Lisztomaia’, which I saw at the pictures twice. It was the first ‘X’ rated movie I ever saw, but I was so persistent that I wouldn’t clear off and had an answer for all their questions. In the end I was allowed in and told not to let the manager see me! This was in the Spring of 1976.
I’ve just found out that composer Franz Liszt stood all of 185cm tall, so that’s one mighty big height discrepancy! Tall composer Rick Wakeman also starred, and he’d had been a little nearer to Liszt’s height! He played another composer, possibly Wagner, but I have to check that one out.
It was an excellent watch and extremely racy!

At the time Quadrophenia was being filmed, I remember a lovely picture of Roger with an arm each round both Leslie Ash, who played Steph, and Phil Daniels, who played the part of Jimmy.
It was truly heartwarming! 🤗

Roger might have been fairly short in his youth, but he was something of a fighter. They ‘solved things’ like that! This streak had to be given up when the Who, formerly The High Numbers, were formed.

Listening to the Who, as I have been since Saturday, I can honestly say that Roger has one of the best and most expressive rock voices EVER. I rate him over Mick Jagger.
When interviewed, he articulates himself very well, and his English is good. In the programme I saw on Saturday, his interviews were music to my ears. I still remember large chunks of what I read in the Who’s programme from when I was 15. After all, it was on my wall for years.
Even my Mum liked the Who - and Led Zeppelin, for that matter! I trained her well…..
Next time I vote for Roger, I can see myself upping his peak height.

Incredibly, I found that Sky Arts were showing a live 2017
concert of Tommy tonight and I caught the end of it, singing along! Now this great channel is having a programme on The Who’s Classic Albums. I can hear it’s starting with ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, from Who’s Next and Pete spoke first, then Roger.
WOW! Roger’s voice is still fantastic, as could be heard in the Tommy concert just now, from a mere five years ago.

The Who certainly fattened up their album ‘Odds and Sods’ since I acquired it in my teens!
There are 23 tracks now, but my favourites are still the ones from the original album. 😀

I missed Roger on The One Show the other day, catching only the tail end. Roger looked healthy and happy and way younger than his years.

I'm pleased to say that I didn't miss out on seeing Roger play with The Who! It never occurred to me that he might be shorter than the 5ft7 I'd read for him in The Who's Sell Out, such was his stage presence.
One can see that he's not terribly tall in the film 'The Legacy'.
Peak - 5ft5.75; Today - 5ft4.5.

I agree with a 5'5½ peak. He's always been a small guy. I didn't notice that he shrunk, but I believe him.

In the early hours of this morning, it occurred to me that I hadn't heard The Who's album 'Odds and Sods' for simply ages. I checked to see if Amazon were selling it and they are, at a thoroughly affordable price of £5.01, so I ordered a copy. Occasionally, these old records sell at ridiculous prices. 😜
As the title of the album suggests, it's a mixture of songs made by The Who - all very tuneful and catchy - which I believe John Entwistle pieced together. One of my favourites is called, 'Pure and Easy', and I'm almost certain that it first appeared on the Pete Townshend album 'Who Came First'.
I wanted to hear a few tracks, and it was the Pete Townshend version of 'Pure and Easy' that came up on my phone, with him singing it live.
Roger gets 5ft6 for his peak and one inch less for today. He's always looked the epitome of fitness, and one of the tracks from 'Odds and Sods' is entitled 'Now I'm A Farmer', which describes Roger's other 'job', though the lyrics "...and I'm diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin'" are hardly descriptive of the lifestyle of a trout farmer, which is what Roger did, and possibly still does. 🐡
My CD arrives tomorrow, just over 45 years later than the disc my Mum bought me for Easter, 1976! 🤫

Some info appeared on my phone as to the guy Roger Daltrey thinks is the ultimate Rock God. It was Robert Plant, and of course, the Who and Led Zeppelin used to hang around together, the Who's late drummer, Keith Moon, being the guy who suggested the name of Jimmy's and Robert's new four piece band.
Well, Roger, I idolised you some three years earlier than I did Robert Plant, and the height difference didn't bother me!

I watched Roger in 'The Legacy' the other night and tried to compare him with the 5ft3 Katharine Ross. Kath was wearing very high heels and I was taking that into account, but saw that my efforts were fruitless when I realised Roger was wearing Cuban heels.
We couldn't even see the size of the heels because he was wearing long flares! 😯👖
Next to Charles Gray, Roger was tiny - despite the shoes - so he gets 5ft5.75 peak and 5ft4.75 for today.

@ Rob - I read 5ft7 for him in the album 'The Who Sellout' - I think - but it was on one of their albums.
It's very honest of him to admit to 5ft4.5, I must say. Good luck to him for that! I didn't think Roger looked as tall as 5ft7 in the 1978 film 'The Legacy', which also starred Charles Gray and Katherine Ross.

@ Danimal - You sound just like my Mum, shoving her kids up to their next age shortly after they turned 7 months past their present age, whatever tiny few years that happened to be.
Roger isn't even three quarters of his way through his 70s, so don't make the guy feel as though he's already an octogenarian! 👅
I've been a fan since I was nearly 15. I'd read then that he was 30, and I cried because I thought he was younger, but no, he was older! 😂😂😂 I found out his real age in the May that I saw The Who, on Saturday, the 31st May, 1976, along with an enormous line-up of truly massive support groups.
So, Danimal, Roger is in his 70s. Capeesh...? 😉
Peak - 5ft6.25
Now - 5ft5
Cheers Roger!

Rob, he's almost 80 years old. In all fairness the man has probably lost close to 2" since his prime. The average 80 year old male will have lost 2" since their peak. There should be a before height and after height for celebs of his age. He was probably close to 5'7" in his younger years and 5'5" today.

If you see Roger performing with The Who in the Stones Rock and Rock Circus Film he looks very short back in 1968. He's wearing approx. 2-3" heels and still looks short in stature. I would estimate he was 5' 6" max back then. Also photographed in recent years with Kelly Jones who is 5' 5", both identical in height. So now definitely 5' 5" or slightly under.

I should have written "No, I'm far TOO conscious of details now...." in the concluding part of my comment rather than use the 'to' with a singular 'o'. Common enough mistake to make maybe, but examiners don't take things like that into account!
The very dream itself was so funny because Roger is the epitome of fitness, and the little trip he asked us to accompany him on in my dream didn't exactly fit in with an experienced singer, actor and business man! (Roger is a trout farmer).

I have recently woken up from one hilarious dream....
🛌😴💤...😃👍
I was at a special night-time showing of 'Tommy' with my boyfriend, and I noticed a behatted man hanging out by the doors where the ice cream ladies, or usherettes, assemble, if that's still the case today.
I wondered why the fellow wasn't watching the film like everyone else, so I went to ask him why. It didn't take long before I realized that I was talking to the star of the film himself - Roger Daltrey! I had asked him why he wasn't watching, 'cos it's ever so good, and came out with, "Hang on a minute! It's YOU! I've seen it about 100 times myself, so come and sit with my boyfriend and moi!"
He obligingly did so, and my boyfriend, who's actually met him before, got on very well with him, as I'd expect.
After the film, Roger asked us to accompany him to a certain place and for me to do a favour, but that's where I have to stop, this being a family site. 😳 It was the way he requested the favour that was so funny, and I woke up laughing. If this dream continues, and I hope it does, I'll find out if I actually go through with it, 'it' being a bit on the naughty side, but nothing as obvious as you'd expect.
Roger looked a sizable chunk taller than me, but not as tall as my boyfriend, just as I'd expect in real life. Long gone are the days when the stars I dream about are 'silly heights'! 🤣 No, I'm far to conscious of details now, having been visiting this site for 3 and 3-quarter years! 👅

🎁🎂🎈🎶 Happy Birthday Roger! 🎶🎈🎂🎁
Congratulations to Roger Daltrey on his 7️⃣6️⃣th Birthday! Roger was my first rock star crush and I still adore him to this day. Having seen the Who at Charlton Football Ground in '76, you could say it's been a longstanding 'thing'! 😁😆😍
I was drawn to his smile, his energy and his powerful, charismatic voice.
A Very Happy Birthday to Roger and let's wish him a dynamic day with wife Heather, his kids and all his chums! XXX
Peak Height - 5ft7 and today - 5ft5.75.
One box? True, but as Roger 🎤 is one super-fit guy, and there is just the one box, he's getting 5ft6 on his special day.
I read 5ft7 in an album sleeve in '76. Pete 🎸 was 6ft then (def!), John 🕷️5ft11 (def!) and Keith 🥁 5ft8 - I think! The album was 'The Who Sellout'.

When I was 15, I went along to my cinema, the one that was showing 'Tommy', and asked them, "Have you got any pictures of Roger Daltrey that I can have?"
They said, "Come back on Friday."
So I did!
I was given one of the posters of 'Tommy' that they had used outside to advertise the film. It was on my wall for many, many years!
I asked my classmate Jennifer how tall he was and she came up with "5ft7!" and she even gave me a little picture, which also went on my wall. I was pleased because I thought 5ft7 was quite tall! It's taller than me!
I went on to borrow loads of The Who's albums from my library and get them as Birthday and Christmas presents. One of the albums had the height statistics of Roger, Pete and John Entwistle, but I couldn't find Keith's. I think it was 'The Who Sell Out'. They had Roger 🎤 as 5ft7, Pete 🎸 as 6ft and John 🎺 as 5ft11. I loved them all!
Roger gets 5ft5.75.

I remember reading a long time ago where he said he actually grew a couple of inches in his twenties after cutting out the big steaks they were giving him on tour in the US. Wishful thinking? He is a cousin of Mick Jagger (really!). Even with the 5'5'' Adam Faith in McVicar it is difficult to see a real difference. He certainly looks surprisingly little with Ann Margret. Fantastic for his age, but then small people tend to look good for longer.

Raymond Fox - What a spirited guy you are! I love you for that!
Back in the 60's and especially the 70's, it wasn't too easy to judge the heights of Rock Stars due to their huge platformed shoes. But I don't half agree that Roger is super-fit for a man his age, and would be for a guy 20 years younger than himself. His body, his hair and that magnificent smile - lethal combination! 😍

I saw the mighty-voiced RD on TV last night, a nice little, if inadvertent, finishing touch to his Birthday Fayre, on the 'Horror Channel', in a film called 'The Legacy'!
The film includes such stars as the eerie Charles Grey, who just has to be over 6ft, but for me it was comparing Roger to American actress Katherine Ross that clinched it: I don't see Roger as taller than 5ft6, even in the late Seventies, when this film was made, and when the guy was in his earlier 30's. You see, he stands with Katherine, who is wearing an elegant high heeled pair of shoes, and they look pretty much neck-and-neck, Katherine being almost certainly a perfect 5ft3 back then, and I can say that because I remember looking her up!
There was an old album of 'The Who', which had written on the sleeve all there heights and other personal snippets that are generally of interest to fans. Pete Townshend was 6ft, John Entwistle 5ft11, I can't remember Keith Moon's height, but he wasn't tall either, and Roger was 5ft7. The album in question might have been 'The Who Sellout', though I cannot guarentee the accuracy of that statement, I'm afraid!

I fell wildly in love with Mr Daltrey when I was a youngster as a result of seeing 'Tommy'. It was his smile, his energy and his voice. I'm certain he was 5ft7 then, which I thought to be quite tall!
I got heavily into the Who and even saw them that year (1976) play at Charlton football ground, which was in the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest concert ever! Only one other kid in my class was there, not that the others were jealous as they were more into mainstream pop, which I could take or leave. The Who though - now they were inspiring!

Be careful. Both men and women shrink with age. Daltry was at least 5'7" in his early 20s. If he is 5'6" at 60 years he is shrinking slower than most of us.

I don't care how tall he is. He is sooo hot! I'm an American woman more than half Roger's age. I never get around to looking at his height because I can't stop looking at his fabulous arms.

His biceps are a site to behold. What a body! The pictures of him in the Tommy era with the open jacket, showing his chest is the hottest thing I have ever seen. Yum Yum.

I met Roger tonight at the premiere of the new Who documentary in the city. I got up close and managed to get his autograph. He's no more than 5'6 and that was in thick shoes. 5'5 would be more accurate. Nice guy, too, though I didn't really have time to chat with him.

You mentioned Pino Palladino earlier. I met him several times in the early 80s when he was a lowly bassist for Welsh rock bands (albeit a brilliant bassist!). I'm 5'11" and he possitively towered above everyone in the venue. He's got to be at least 6'4". His bass guitars (all long scale ones) are dwarfed fy his frame.

he's 5'5", interesting he admitted it but he's never seemed as self conscious about his height as a lot of shorter rock stars (cough..bono..cough). he got all the girls anyway...

He was the shortest member of the Who and at the beginning he claimed to be 5'7" looking slightly shorter than Keith Moon who was listed as 5'9". If as I suspect he really was shorter I wonder how tall Keith Moon was? At the time of their listing none of them wore heels, they all wore flat shoes or dessert boots which were quite fasionable with the Mods.

Roger's height may always remain a mystery... this year alone, he's said he was 5'5" in one magazine, 5'6" in Q mag, and 5'7" in Mojo. The 5'7" was during a part of the interview where he was laughing off his "rock god" 70's image, so it makes me wonder if 5'7" is his heeled and big hair height, 5'6" is with his present-day thick-soled shoes, and 5'5" is barefoot. Pardon the pun, but Who knows?
Dave Marsh's biography Before I Get Old just describes him as being somewhere between 5'5" and 5'7", so I'm guessing he doesn't exactly announce his true stature.

Roger wore hilarious high heel boots in concert in the 70's. The '71 tour with the huge heels and huge hair made him look 6'. I've seen him on every tour since '74 and his heel has come down every tour, the doo too.

I don't ever recall Roger's footwear ever being as outlandish as Elton's. I read somewhere, I think here, that Elton once wore 8 inch platforms. But yeah, both of them are notorious for big footwear. Heck, I've noticed most rock singers, or at least the most famous ones (Daltrey, Jagger, Mercury, Morrison, Tyler, etc.) are or were all short (some average) except for Plant (and even he insisted on big footwear despite being 6'1). Guess their heights don't matter, since they have enough of charisma and presence that their heights are of secondary concern...at least to the fans.

5-7 in boots possibly (tends to wear chunky shoes but not Bono-level; incidentally haven't seen a pic of the two together but I'd wager they're about the same height, barefoot, 5-5 and change).

As related in another thread...
I would bet Roger Daltrey is under 5'6". He seemed 5'4" or 5'5" to me 25 years ago - I doubt he's grown any. I met him at a Who press conference - when he got up out of his chair, he didn't seem to get any taller. It was a shock, I can tell you. I thought he must have been t least 5'9". Nope. I'm 5'11" and I felt like I was looking down on top of his head!

Haven't met him yet but from pictures Pino seems to be in the 6-3 or 6-4 range (but very skinny). One clue to guitarist/bassist heights is to look at the proportion of their instrument to their body - such as Angus Young who is dwarfed by his, Townshend who looks about 6 ft, and Pino who makes his bass look smaller.

I think Entwistle was 5'10-ish barefoot (178-179 cm), but with the right shoes was nearer to Pete's height (which I still believe was at his peak 6'2, especically after the May pic). I don't think John was only 5'8. Maybe it was a posture thing.

Saw them at the Isle of Wight festival in 2004, even though it was just Roger and Pete from the original line up, they blew the rest of the bands away that weekend....they showed a few of the young bands how to put on a rock show i.e Snow Patrol, Electric Soft Parade, Ordinary Boys,even The Manics. Roger did look around the 5'6 mark when stood next to the 6'0 Townshend though.

Yes, I agree, Steven. Him, Plant, Mercury and Jagger are the best frontmen in rock. I also agree that their larger than life presences make them seem taller (though Plant was legitimately tall to begin with at 6'1)
I'm actually seeing The Who next month, so I'll know what it's like to really see the man in action.

I have a poster in my room of the band. They're all kneeling down, so it might be hard to compare exact heights, but it's easy to tell that Daltrey standing up is no more than 5'6. I initially thought 5'10 because of the shoes and hair, but after looking at early pics of the group, it's clear he's a very small man.
As he sang in "Substitute", "I look pretty tall but my heels are high."

About 5' 6". He's the only person I've seen in obvious elevator sneakers. He looks really old if you catch him in reading glasses and from a foot away. Moon I met only a few weeks before he died. I knew he wasn't going to do any tour with The Who. He looked like a 55 year old butler. He said the word "Dear" in every sentance. "Dear boy", "Oh dear", "Dear me".
