Not this retirement bs again! "A-hole with the laser, yeah you in the white shirt, f'kin quit it allright, I don't want to become blind because of you t*sser"
All of it is open to interpretation so you do you but these are the examples I can think of....
Steve sayin he's not sure about a new album. Not often we've heard that, I don't think. Might mean they won't do another one.
Taking 2027 off. A rare statement from them. A year off for people at their age could easily lead to one or 2 deciding they have had enough. Or could make them realise that they wanna go again.
The use of "no UK gig til at least 2028." Could easily mean that they will definitely play the UK again but not til 2028 or after. Or maybe no decision has been made and that leaves the door open to retirement after this tour, depending on how people feel.
Although as Shadow says, if they have plans for 2028 then they are already in motion. Or maybe there will be no plans made until after this tour when people have made a decision about what happens next.
Anyway, that was boring to write and no doubt boring to read, point is that I see enough slightly unusual things lately to make me think that something slightly unusual might happen. Which could be retirement. Maybe.
Anyway. The break in 2027 has its positive aspects since we all know the Maiden company won't rest. I am a 100% sure they will use the break from band activities itself for the one or other nice surprise to be released. Don't forget this autumn will mark the release of SIT & tour 40 years ago. Who knows what they knock out last. Also a live release from TFP might be possible. And if the break is just for the sake of writing new songs and working out ideas each for themselves, I'm fine with that.
