Shortly after finishing a 30-date tour the singer was able to know about it,"My voice wasn't behaving in the normal way," Daltrey told CBS Los Angeles. "It was becoming hard work to sing. I just got lucky that somebody put me in touch with Steven Zeitels [Director of the Mass General Voice Center in Massachusetts]."

He added: "He told me that he didn't like what he saw. He took off what he could from the problem area on my vocal cord. He said it wasn't cancer but it was a pre-cancerous growth and you have to keep an eye on it."
