The thing is, he would have to feel like playing live a small number of concerts. If doesn't feel like doing it, he won't do it.

There were hopes that after having back all the band on British Grove, sharing their friendship and having a good time, he might feel like being with them again playing some gigs, but apparently, he didn't, he had enough with recording with them, or maybe he's giving a thought to it but didn't say a thing yet, who knows. In fact, I hope he is doing that and he ends saying, ok, let's call the guys and play some gigs!
You might get lucky, now and then

At the moment we don't know if he doesn't want to (e.g. lack of motivation) or can't (e.g. health reasons) tour. I just accept his decision and look forward to the new album.

Never say never, Paul Simon said he was retired but apparently he is is back in the studio right now, so anything is possible :)

Very true, never say never. But coming out of retirement to 'putter about' in the studio is a little easier than going on tour. I mean, British Grove is basically Mark's man cave  ;D

There's always mourning and weeping. But it doesn't help much.

It's the new album I'm looking forward to, and concerning any live shows we'll have to wait and see what the future has in store for us.
This is all the heaven we've got right here where we are in our shangri-la.

But you can something like clapton did in june hardly cal a new tour.
4 concerts in the UK and 10 in Europe. Still possible i think.
So perhaps what Guy is saying is that the long tours with 100 concerts are over……

I was very sad about that news from Guy. But to be honest, we all knew it.
An era ended now for me. 35 Live Shows or something from 1991-2019.
No tours to look forward to.  :'(
But after I saw him 2019 it was his best descision.
He got old now and I really got scared after I saw the video of Playtime Deluxe. in 2016.
His fingers and hands were really shaking. Something is going on there and got worse after that.

I also really look forward to new music and albums and hope that he will do some RAH shows.
I am pretty sure he does. As he said in Mannheim, my last concert: I will do it maybe until I fall over...

Long live MK. Our hero
Love will find a Way
