A year after the tour, the band decided not to pack it in after all. Indeed the Farewell Tour as it was called, hit North America, Australia and Japan. Five years after it started.īut get this - back in March 2000, KISS started what was supposed to be their farewell tour. The massive, 227-show tour was supposed to end this July in Norway, but may continue well into 2024 by the time all the postponed dates are made up for. Well, actually, they might say it’s exactly the same number. There are 12 legs to the tour - that’s four more than the band members themselves. This tour was announced in 2018, started in 2019 and was interrupted by the pandemic - but it’s still happening and ongoing. KISS promised to bugger off ages ago, but are now on what they call the Final Tour Ever, End Of The Road World Tour. But, they’re currently in the middle of their Rock Believer Tour, having completed the 16-month Rock ‘n’ Roll Forever Tour in 2014, the year-long 50th Anniversary World Tour in 2016, and the three-year Crazy World Tour in 2020. The Scorpions also swore up and down to Sterdan in 2011 that their Get Your Sting and Blackout World Tour was their last. I guess when you’re living after midnight, an all-day breakfast is essential. Back in 2012 he told Sterdan he was enjoying getting seniors’ discounts on his Grand Slams at Denny’s. What does Halford care, he’s making serious hay. Each of these tours lasted more than a year. Three years after that, the Fifty Heavy Metal Years Tour. Three years after that, the Firepower World Tour. In fact, two years later they did the Redeemer of Souls Tour. But by the time Darryl Sterdan talked to lead singer Rob Halford about that, the band of 60-somethings had already changed their collective mind about retiring. Many more of them seem to quit and then come back, like Guy Lafleur, Mermaid Man or Rocky Balboa.īack in 2012, the lord of this website wrote about the farewell tour by Judas Priest for the Sun chain of newspapers. Not all rockers employ the long goodbye approach. But how can I miss you if you won’t go away? I’ve been a fan of ol’ Reggie since I was four years old, but I didn’t attend any of these shows. E lton John’s farewell tour has been going on longer than the entire career of some musicians.
