Roger Daltrey, 82, makes public remarks criticizing social media, including comments that it is “destroying civilisation.” The Who frontman speaks to an audience at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Los Angeles.
In the remarks covered by both outlets, Daltrey also mocks how some younger people and influencers are approached with questions about social life, including “how many friends have you really got?” The reporting presents the comments as part of a broader critique of how social platforms affect society.
The two sources share the same account and wording emphasis, with no substantive differences in the described events. Both frame Daltrey’s comments as occurring during a live appearance in Los Angeles earlier in the week, portraying him as critical of social media’s impact on social relationships and public life.
