Seriously, he really never did, whereas some of the other bands that you mentioned even went so far as to have "farewell" tours (yes, I'm looking at you...EAGLES). I hate bands that do that shit. I just read that Motley Crue signed a legally binding document before they did their farewell tour that they would never again play as Motley Crue. That's awesome! Of course, the loophole is, they can just play under a different name, but I admire the idea.
