You can build a career on farewell tours, KISS has been doing them since 1996.

isn't that why Sonny committed suicide by slamming himself into a tree on a ski hill or something? memory is fuzzy about that..

They were solid until Pump. After that, Steven just got too dooshy.
Damn, that band is still so good, though!! I wish Tyler would dial it back a little. He's gone "Diamond Dave times a billion" on us. He still totally has his chops, arguably even better than when he was younger. That's a RARE thing. Every musician in that band is solid.
I wish they'd re-think this and come straight at it again. I think they could still write some good rock music, as long as they get rid of the minute-long weird sound intros to every other song.
Otherwise, yeah man....
Hang it up.

Agree. But even then it's rough when your contracts stipulates the venue has to provide an assortment of Boniva, arthritis remedies etc.

As little as I like their Permanent Vacation and beyond material, I'd go. Saw 'em in Vegas several years back after they got sober and it was a masterful performance.

And let's not forget The Who and their "This time we really mean it" cavalcade of farewell tours.
