Pete Townshend believes The Who will come to an end as a band this year.
The 'My Generation' hitmaker thinks it is time he and singer Roger Daltrey go their "separate ways" once their current tour - 'The Who Hits 50!' which was staged to celebrate their 50th anniversary -comes to an end.
He said: "I think I will stop after this year. When this tour is over, we'll probably both go our separate ways. So it's to demonstrate that even this particular gang can grow old - not necessarily gracefully, but can grow old ungracefully, or whatever it is that we're doing."
However, the 70-year-old musician doesn't think it will mean the end of his collaborative relationship with frontman Roger Daltrey.
He added in an interview with MOJO magazine: "I think Roger and I will do odd things together.
"I hope that one day I can write him an album of songs that suit him and the record company won't demand that we call it The f***ing Who, but I've got a bad feeling about it. I think that if I wrote Roger a bunch of good songs, our manager would say, 'Why not call it The Who? We'll sell double as many records!' "
And the 'Baba O'Reilly' hitmaker insists he and his 71-year-old bandmate still enjoy a great relationship, despite constant speculation they often argue.
He said: "Roger and I were both so upset when the English newspapers decided that we were feuding - big headlines: 'Roger And Townshend Feuding.' Because it's just not the case.
"The acceptance of each other's eccentricities and differences has brought us to a really genuine and compassionate relationship, which can only be described as love. And that's something to demonstrate, because this is two old guys in rocking chairs. As Roger says, we're lucky that we're not in some old people's home and that we can do this now."
The Who top the bill at Barclaycard presents British Summertime Hyde Park in London tonight (26.06.15) and they will close the Glastonbury Festival as headliners on Sunday evening (28.06.15).

Florence Welch would "love" to meet the Dalai Lama at Glastonbury.
The 28-year-old singer - who will headline the world famous festival tonight (26.06.15) with her band Florence + the Machine - is eager to meet the Tibetan Buddhist leader who is making a rare appearance at the event to give a talk to festival goers.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "A lot of the artists are excited to hear what the Dalai Lama has to say. Florence is very spiritual, caring and open-minded. She would love to meet him on site."
The Dalai Lama's spokesman has revealed the key themes of his visit to the event at Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England, will be "the promotion of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's message of compassion, non-violence and the oneness of humanity".
Although the 'Ship to Wreck' hitmaker isn't a Buddhist, she considers herself to be a holistic and spiritual human being and has explored many different religions and faiths, including paganism and even witchcraft.
Revealing that she even cast spells while she was a school girl, Florence said: "Me and my two friends made these spell books.
"I tried to make one classmate fall in love with me, so me and my coven put his name in a bottle. The rule was that there has to be a drop of blood and ... well, I don't know if it ever worked."
The Dalai Lama will be giving his talk in the festival's famous Green Fields area and festival co-organiser Emily Eavis has described his visit to her and her father Michael Eavis' farm "a special moment".
Glastonbury will also have a visit from Professor Stephen Hawking this year. The physicist is due to appear in the Kidz Field.

Tommy Lee is "pretty picky" when it comes to women.
The Mötley Crüe drummer - who was previously married to 'Baywatch' actress Pamela Anderson and 'Melrose Place' beauty Heather Locklear, and has been linked to a string of other high profile stars, including Pink and Tara Reid, in the past - claims he doesn't know how many women he has bedded, but insists it's probably "not as many as you think."
Asked how many people he has had sex with, he admitted: "Jesus. I don't know. I really don't know. It's probably not as many as you think. Even in my sl*ttiest moments, I'm pretty f**king picky for real."
But the 52-year-old rocker says his standards are often lower after he has a few drinks because he just wants to have "a good time."
He told Bang Showbiz: "Yeah, you get drunk and you are like she will do, she looks like fun, we will have a good time. But probably not as many as you'd think."
The 'Girls Girls Girls' hitmaker - who has two teenage sons, Brandon, 19, and Dylan, 18, with Pamela - got engaged to German singer Sofia Toufa last year.
Tommy was also previously married to Elaine Bergen.

Taylor Swift has "happily" agreed to stream her album on Apple Music.
The 25-year-old singer is delighted the technology giant agreed to reverse their decision not to pay artists for songs streamed during users' free trial periods after she spoke out earlier this week, so will now allow her latest record '1989' to be made available via the streaming service.
She tweeted: "After the events of this week, I've decided to put 1989 on Apple Music...and happily so...
"In case you're wondering if this is some exclusive deal like you've seen Apple do with other artists, it's not...
"This is simply the first time it's felt right in my gut to stream my album. Thank you, Apple, for your change of heart.(sic)"
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker - who had her music removed from rival service Spotify last year - previously hit out at the company's "shocking" decision not to pay artists.
She wrote on her Tumblr page: "I'm sure you are aware that Apple Music will be offering a free 3 month trial to anyone who signs up for the service.
"I'm not sure you know that Apple Music will not be paying writers, producers, or artists for those three months.
"I find it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike this historically progressive and generous company."
Although Taylor acknowledged the move will not make a huge difference to her own financial wellbeing, she insisted her actions were not those of "a spoiled, petulant child".
The 'Bad Blood' hitmaker concluded her letter: "It's not too late to change this policy. We don't ask you for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation."
Following the publication of Taylor's letter, Eddy Cue, the Senior Vice-President of Internet Software and Services at Apple, vowed the company would change its policy.
He tweeted: "#AppleMusic will pay artist for streaming, even during customer's free trial period.
"We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple."

Blur wanted to replace Foo Fighters at Glastonbury.
The 'Parklife' hitmakers - who recently headlined Isle of Wight festival and Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park - were tipped to take the Friday night slot when the 'Everlong' group pulled out after frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg during a concert in Sweden, and guitarist Graham Coxon admitted they would have been delighted to return to the famous music event for the first time since topping the bill in 2009.
Graham said: "Yeah I was like 'come on!' but you know I think someone [else] was there."
However, the musician admits he is unsure whether the group could have "practically" taken on the slot, which has been given to Florence + the Machine.
He added to BBC Newsbeat: "Didn't Florence already get in there? I don't know whether practically we could have done it but that would have been fun."
While Blur enjoy performing at Glastonbury, the 'Beetlebum' musician admits he has few memories of the first time they played there.
He laughed: "No, no I can't remember anything, that would have been in the 90s.
"I remember we were always very excited like children, just eating and drinking everything in sight but not remembering much about it."

Pink Floyd have been nominated for three awards at the 2015 Progressive Music Awards.
The legendary rock band's chart-topping 'The Endless River' LP sees them up for the Grand Design, Best Album and Best Band/Artist of the Year prizes.
Pink Floyd - Dave Gilmour and Nick Mason - are joined on three nominations by King Crimson and Steven Wilson.
Meanwhile, Kate Bush is up for two awards, Best Live Event and Artist of the Year, following her return to the stage in 2014, her first live shows in 35 years.
The 4th Annual Progressive Music Awards - created by Prog Magazine - will take place on September 3 at London's Underglobe under Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and will be hosted by 'The Wright Stuff' presenter Matthew Wright - a self-confessed Hawkwind obsessive who has toured and performed with the band.
Speaking about his hosting duties, Wright said: "I was made up to be asked ... It was the first time I'd ever met Steve Hillage (at the 2013 awards) - he was one of my heroes from my teenage years.
"I spent a lot of time listening to his 'Green' album and his stuff with Gong but I never thought I'd meet him. I also met Robert John Godfrey, who I'd seen live many times but had never met before. The experience was only marred by the fact I had to get up at 4am the next morning to do my show, so I think I might take the Friday off this time!"
The public can vote for the winners at www.progmagazine.com/awards while an additional six awards - Outer Limits, Visionary, Virtuoso, Guiding Light, Lifetime Achievement and Prog God - are selected by editors of the magazine and will be announced at the ceremony.
