London, Aug 27 : Guitarist Pete Townshend from rock band The Who has written a musical called Floss, which will open in New York in 2011.

The rock opera apparently derives the style from their earlier work Tommy and Quadrophenia.

The 64-year-old has revealed that his new work deals with issues affecting a man of his age and it will express his anger in true rock fashion.

London  - British guitarist Pete Townshend, whose rock operas have included Quadrophenia and Tommy, revealed Tuesday that he is working on a new musical about getting old - at the age of 64.

"I hope I die before I get old," the former frontman of The Who wrote in his hit single My Generation more than 45 years ago.

"As a 19-year-old with My Generation, I wrote the most explicitly ageist song in rock. At 64, I now want to take on ageing and mortality, using the powerfully angry context of rock 'n' roll," he said.
