WHO2 is the working name for a new CD by The Who. The album was supposed to be released in spring 2005, but the release date is pushed back to next year (2006).

WHO2 will be the first album by the band since 1982. The only original members in the band are Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, as Keith Moon died in 1978 and John Entwistle died in 2002. Their places are currently being filled by Zak Starkey and Pino Palladino respectively.

Starkey has been playing with The Who since 1996. His drumming is very similar to Keith Moon's, even though his father is Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles. This may be because Keith Moon gave him drum lessons when Starkey was a child.

Palladino had worked on some of Pete Townshend's solo projects. When Entwhistle died unexpectedly on the eve of the Who's 2002 tour of the United states, Palladino was called in, and the new group were performing within days.

The track listing of the album is unknown, but will most likely feature two songs written by Townshend and released in early 2004: "Real Good Looking Boy" and "Old Red Wine." A song called "Certified Rose" written by Roger Daltrey was supposedly rehearsed at the warmup for the 2002 tour and could possibly appear on the album as well. The Who plan to tour after the album is released.

On March 21, Pete Townshend officially announced the postponement of the new Who album on his website [1].
