The Who famously sang “I hope I die before I get old” in “My Generation,” but the legendary British rockers aren’t allowing age to prevent them from one final lap around North America this summer.

The band fronted by singer Roger Daltrey, 81, and guitarist Pete Townshend, who turns 80 May 19, will kick off the aptly named The Song is Over North American Farewell Tour – billed as a “truly grand finale” – Aug. 16 just outside of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and wrap in Las Vegas Sept. 28.The 16-show run, named for a song on The Who’s classic 1971 album, “Who’s Next,” will visit cities including Atlantic City, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia and Seattle and showcase hits from the band’s six-decade career.

Tickets will be available during a Citi presale (citientertainment.com) and the Whooligan Fan Club starting from 10 a.m. local time May 13 through 10 p.m. local time May 15. The general on-sale begins at 10 a.m. local time May 16 at thewho.com/tour.Fans can join the Whooligan Fan Club at thewho.com/fanclub to receive exclusive merchandise including the previously unreleased album “Live at the Oval 1971,” in addition to early access to tickets.

Daltrey and Townshend both commented on the proverbial end of the road and the importance of the U.S. and Canada to the band’s career – an epic resume that boasts 58 singles with many such as “I Can’t Explain,” “I Can See for Miles,” “Pinball Wizard,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Baba O’Riley” ingrained in music history.
