CHICAGO - Legendary British rock band The Who will bring their final North American tour to the United Center in Chicago on Sept. 7, as part of their newly announced farewell tour, "The Song Is Over."

What we know:

The band, led by founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, announced the tour Thursday, marking what they say will be the last chapter of their six-decade career. The farewell tour will span 16 dates across the U.S. and Canada.

"Well, all good things must come to an end," Townshend said. "It is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible. The warmth and engagement of those audiences began back in 1967 with hippies smoking dope, sitting on their blankets and listening deeply and intensely. Music was everywhere. We all felt equal."

The tour, named after the band's 1971 song, starts Aug. 16 in Florida and ends Sept. 28 in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the Chicago show go on sale to the general public on May 16 at The Who's website. Citi cardholders and members of the band's fan club will have access to resales starting next Tuesday.
