Rock legends The Who have returned to the stage after frontman Roger Daltrey recovers from his illness.

The band was forced to abandon a set in Florida last week after just one song because the singer was too unwell to continue.

It was later revealed that the star had bronchitis and the band had to axe two more scheduled shows.

The Who performed a full set of over an hour and a half in Arkansas on Wednesday night. Daltrey told the crowd: "Boy it feels good to be out of bed."

Pete Townshend wrote on The Who's website, with regards to worries that Daltrey was not fully fit to sing: "Roger has been advised by no less than three doctors that he is okay to perform.

"Although I think he may find the next few days hard...I'm sure we'll be great."
