The Who legend Sir Roger Daltrey is adding to his £50m fortune by recording £400-a-time ‘happy birthday’ messages to fans.
Rock legend Roger, 80, has joined a video-sharing platform in time for Xmas and devotees are scrambling to get shout-outs from the Mod god.
He sings happy birthday to one fan while strumming a guitar in his home office and tells another: “I hear you are a big Who fan. I really, really appreciate it. Keep your chin up and get off your iPhone. Look up, not down – that’s where life is.”

So far he’s had 10 five-star reviews on the Cameo website after joining just over a week ago.
Fans are told: “Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a long-awaited reunion, make it unforgettable with a one-of-a-kind Cameo video from Roger Daltrey. You’ll have the chance to customize your request for Roger Daltrey, like asking them to mention inside jokes, share words of wisdom, or work in their signature catchphrases.
“Don’t be afraid to get creative with your request, especially for celebrations like weddings, retirements, or bachelor and bachelorette parties that call for a good laugh. No matter the occasion, the video will be yours to keep – share the fun and relive the moment for years to come.”
It’s the latest side hustle for the star. He recently proved he’s a whizz with fizz after his fledgling beer brand was valued at one million quid. The My Generation and Pinball Wizard legend is making a tasty profit from his beer.
Sir Roger runs the Lakedown Brewing Company and the firm’s annual accounts make happy reading for the icon.
The outfit has cash in its coffers of more than £330,000 and it is worth close to £1m with other assets after two years of trading. The brewery is based at the star’s Lakedown trout fishery in East Sussex.
The family-run, independent brewery was founded by the singer, his son Jamie and two sons-in-law, Christopher Rule and Des Murphy.
The beer varieties that the brewery makes are all vegan with the Pilsner, English Pale, Pale Ale, and Best Bitter also gluten-free.
“They have turned me into a beer drinking convert because their beers are so easy-drinking,” said Roger Daltrey.
“Lakedown has been a passion of mine since I designed it in the 1980s, as a rural sanctuary away from the mania of touring.”
The ales come in can, bottle, keg and cask.
