EP. 14 The Grand Illusion: The Everlasting Farewell Tours of Rock Legends

Send us Fan MailAre farewell tours in the music industry a final goodbye or just a marketing gimmick? Brace yourself as we unload our shared frustration and confusion about bands like Foreigner, who announce a farewell tour only to continue with more shows. Not only does it cause disappointment among fans, but it also dilutes the whole concept of a farewell tour. That being said, we're not all about venting - we also have some exciting news. Foreigner will be joining Styx and special guest, John Waite, on a co-headline tour!Here's the kicker - we're not just going to discuss the oddity of never-ending farewell tours. We're going to dissect it, using bands like Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, The Who, and Motley Crue as case studies. These bands have all announced their farewell tours yet continued to perform, challenging the literal meaning of the term 'farewell'. And yes, we're also going to consider Deep Purple's ongoing 'long goodbye' tour. So buckle up, get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the confusing world of farewell tours in the music industry. It's time to question - when does a farewell tour truly signify the end?#tellyourstory #thebenmaynardprogram #classicrock #foreigner #foreignerband #styx #styxworld # johnwaite #ozzyosbourne #motleycrue #kissonlineSupport the showThanks for listening!
