I wouldn't discount the possibility of one-off reunion shows in the future, provided they parted on good terms (and that's usually the case when a band has been together 20+ years)

(FWIW, I was very smug that I got a ticket to one of LCD Soundsystem's goodbye shows. It was awesome. They reunited a few years later, released albums and resumed touring ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Phil Collins did a "First Finale Farewell Tour."

Then followed it with a "Not Dead Yet Tour."

Tina Turner has had quite a few "last" tour. And I'm sure there are plenty more. People can always change their mind.

Eventually, everyone needs money again.

Not Bill gates, if he stops to pick-up money he loses money.

I get the joke, but the literalist inside me wants to always point out when I hear this that it's not as though he stops being the founder of Microsoft in the few seconds he stops to pick up money.

He doesn't lose money by picking up money. It's more than likely less than the daily market fluctuation of a single stock of MSFT, but stopping to pick up money doesn't interrupt or halt his income in any way.

Well he pressured oxford into not open-sourcing the vaccine. To him, that is probably a quarter on the ground.

I've lost count the amount of Rolling Stones "farewell tour" concerts I've been too.

I too have gone through this with Nine Inch Nails. You said you were done Trent!
