TAMPA (CBS4) ― Fans of "The Who" were left saying "what happened?" when lead singer Roger Daltrey walked off the stage during the band's first song in Tampa Tuesday night.

Several minutes after Daltrey's departure, guitarist Pete Townshend announced that the show had been canceled. He told the crowd that Daltrey had bronchitis.

"I just talked to Roger and he can barely speak," Townshend said. "I tried to get him to come out here, but he's really, really sick."

The 9,000 people at Tuesday night's show seemed disappointed but cheered when Townshend told them the concert would be made up March 25.
