Every tour, individual actors and musicians should be treated as any other ‘Goods’ at the point of entry to the EU with one set of paperwork.” “I do think our government should have made the easing of restrictions for musicians and actors a higher priority. I would have preferred reform, which was asked for by us before the referendum and was turned down by the then president of the EU.

“I’m glad to be free of Brussels, not Europe. “I have not changed my opinion on the EU,” Daltrey said in a statement. In 2021, he then defended himself against hypocrisy allegations after becoming one of over 100 musicians – along with Elton John, Ed Sheeran and Liam Gallagher – calling on the government to resolve the freedom of movement issue for British artists. They were always going to punish us they’re determined to make it not work because they’re fearful of other countries leaving. We used to do it regularly in the Sixties and Seventies.”

One truck goes into Europe full of equipment with a carnet, it’s not hard to get visas, is it? It shouldn’t be. “They’re making life hard for us, I don’t disagree,” he said. “Am I sorry we came out of it? No… it’s a cartel, mate, it’s like being governed by FIFA.”ĭaltrey also complained about the difficulties currently facing musicians who wish to tour around Europe, as they face costly delays caused by red tape and the ongoing lorry queues at Dover.
“Would I vote to go back in it? No,” he said. When it was pointed out to him that many regulations aren’t “forced” on the UK by the EU, Daltrey insisted “a lot of them are” and repeated his belief that the government hasn’t “made the most” of Brexit. “I just put in planning permission for a building on the farm and just to get the planning in its cost me something like £40,000. “I’m disappointed we haven’t made the most of it – I’m really disappointed that we haven’t burned an awful lot of useless regulation,” he said. In a new interview with The Independent, the 78-year-old stuck by his view that the European Union’s power is “too divorced from everyday people”, and said he wasn’t sorry for voting Leave. And amid talk about their long career and their hopes to tour again, Roger had some harsh criticism when talk soon turned to contemporary politics and today's society. The Who musician was one of the most prominent and vocal supporters of Brexit in the build-up to the EU referendum in 2016. Roger Daltrey has said he feels “very disappointed” with the lack of progress he feels the UK has made after Brexit.
