Answer: True

Although some of them were capable on multiple instruments, the basic line-up was: Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass, Keith Moon on Drums, and Roger Daltrey on lead vocals. In later years, they appeared on stage with multiple guitarists, percussionists and small orchestras behind them.

He died of an overdose in 1978. Ironically, the drug that killed him was prescribed to help him overcome alcoholism.

He died in 2002, the night before the band was to launch a U.S. tour.
