I think by the time the new album is released there will be statement about a new tour. Whatever that wil be….
A few concerts in the UK, a few in the UK and Europe or perhaps no concerts at all???

I think the music landscape was starting to change, with the likes of grunge etc emerging.  :(

That's true. I knew it but never thought about it. Grunge music changed the music scene not only in USA.

I was around then and grunge was big but it wasn't everything. I think it got rid of hair metal but that was overdue anyway as they didn't really have the songs anymore. The following acts were huge in 1992:

U2
Whitney Houston
Prince
George Michael
Simply Red massive in Europe (Stars the biggest selling record in the UK in both 91 and 92)
Michael Jackson
Guns and Roses
Metallica

So it wasn't as if grunge came and took over everything. Same way as punk didn't change everything in the 70s as we are told now, disco sold much more records.

and we can ad Genesis' We Can't Dance album and tour 91/92 to your list.

I would add Kravitz too.
I think his second album "Mama said" was a big seller

Whoever coincided in time with DS, they were a massive success in Europe, they sold well or enough in North America, failed and losed money in Australia and Ne Zealnda, and had to cancel plans to play South America and Western Europe.
You might get lucky, now and then

I'm probably reading far to much into this but latest comments from Guy don't look negative on the prospect of old material being released . He refers to Dolby Atmos mixes which must be for the MFN comp?

How he can be negative when it's a part of his job to "look after" his own work? Artists who say they look forward only and they never look back are just snobbish and childish people who want to look cooler in the eyes of the audience. Of course, you look forward only, because that's your job.

There are artists who milk their past works for what it's worth, but when you're OBVIOUSLY an artist who's consistent in releasing new material and rarely really looks back, it's... Well... That you don't look back, it's obvious, for one thing, and cheapens your past works a little bit.

I always read it like "don't waste your time checking out my past works, see what I've got right now". In any way, this phrase about looking forward is so stupid.
