LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ten fans of English rock band The Who traded in tickets from a canceled 1979 gig in Rhode Island for entry to the group's upcoming February show, in a rare tale of loyalty spanning the decades, the Providence Journal newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Fans of The Who - formed by Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon - were disappointed in December 1979 when the London rockers' performance was canceled in the wake of a stampede at The Who concert in Ohio two weeks earlier. Eleven people were killed in the stampede.
Ten die-hard followers held onto their tickets for the December 17, 1979, show at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for more than three decades and were able to trade them in for tickets to the band's upcoming February 26, 2013, show, the Providence newspaper said.
