About this album

Too Late The Hero is a punchy early-1980s solo statement from John Entwistle, the Who’s famously inventive bassist and songwriter. Released in 1981, it finds him balancing heavy rock energy with the melodic instincts and dark humour that marked his best work away from the band. Built around muscular bass lines, strong hooks and a harder-edged pop-rock sound, the album underlines Entwistle’s status as more than a supporting player: he was a distinctive songwriter with a taste for grit, wit and punch. Too Late The Hero remains a sharp reminder of how much he could do on his own terms.
