The Who’s Pete Townshend has released the rocker’s first solo in 29 years. “Can’t Outrun The Truth” was written by Rachel Fuller, Townshend’s wife, during covid lockdown in 2021.
“I couldn't do any creative work and obviously, we couldn't go anywhere,” said Fuller. “And I really started to think about how unbelievably difficult this period of time was going to be for so many people. I wrote lyrics and then I sat at the piano and wrote the music, and then… I asked Pete to record the demo.”
In addition to being the iconic singer’s first single in decades, “Can’t Outrun The Truth” benefits a good cause. The musician couple is donating a portion of each sale the song makes to one of The Who’s favorite charities- the Teenage Cancer Trust. Check out the new song below.
