The Who's Roger Daltrey doesn't think that AC/DC ought to have replaced Brian Johnson with Axl Rose to finish out their current slate of tour dates.

Speaking with Postmedia Network, Daltrey says that Johnson's getting the short end of the stick.

"I mean, I really feel badly for Brian. It must be heartbreaking for him after all the service he's given that band over the years," he began.

"I thought [AC/DC's] farewell statement to the press and to Brian was fairly curt, to say the least.

I felt for him. That must have hurt. I've spoken to Brian. He's got loads of other things he wants to do in his life."

"I think AC/DC will miss Brian much more than Brian will miss AC/DC."

Johnson was forced off the tour after doctors told him he could face total hearing loss if he continued to perform.
