Some people just love their job as well, they might think they're ready for retirement then a few months later they're bored silly!
My Step-dad for one, he's 70 now, he's been a ship builder since he left school, he retired a couple of years ago but he still goes to Cammell Lairds every day, now as a casual because he'd be bored stupid if he stayed at home every day.
Fair play to any band who 'retire' and then come back for more, it;s not exactly the cheating the fans out of anything is it, if anything they'd be as happy to get to see the band more times, and if they're not then the ticket sales will reflect it and it probably WILL be the last tour.
I'd let off any band that does this, apart from Motley Crue since they made such a hoopla about it and getting lawyers and contracts and then came back anyway
