Earlier this year, Little Feat released their 18th studio album Strike Up The Band. The longstanding group has been pushing on after the death of guitarist Paul Barrere in 2019. Now, they’re announcing a farewell tour following advice from their team.
“Everybody and their brother is retiring now,” keyboardist, singer, and co-founder Billy Payne told Rolling Stone. “But I’ll be honest, I resisted it at first. I’ll be 77 in March, and [guitarist] Fred Tackett is 80 and [bassist] Kenny [Gradney] will be 76 next year. But what’s the rush on farewelling this thing?”
“It’s not an immediate cutoff,” he added. “If it were, I would have said, ‘No, absolutely not.’ But when I really thought about it, if you play a venue, you just knock it off your list and don’t have to jump on a bus and go places every night, which is probably not a bad thing. And you can do residences, if they’re available, or play music with other people or do special events. It’s age related, but as a business model, I guess prices go up, since people think, ‘Oh, we need to see those guys.’”
