Do you think Mr Hucknall needs the money or was just missing the band after he disbanded back in 2010?.
He will never better the Stars album.

Trust me - when really wealthy musicians ask why they still make albums and tour, they get really upset.

Why? because the inference is that they made music to make money, and now they have that money, they don't need to do it any more.

The reality is, they make music because they are musicians, it is what they do.

The money is a very nice by-product, but it's not the reason, the reason is because they love to make and play music, and that doesn't alter because an eight-figure bank balance is the by-product.

Musicians make music because that is what they loved doing it when they started, and that love does not disaapear - so they carry on doing it.

What else would they do - get an allotment?

Never ask a rich musician why he is still making music - they get miffed!!!

Are you a rich musician Andy? LOL.

I like Simply Red and have several of their CDs and seen them live on tour.

When I watched Simply Reds' last performance back at the O2 Arena in 2010 after the last song Mick shouts, "Simply Red are no more". Lots of fans thought that tour was the last time they would see and hear Simply Red live, so some fans will feel either pleased or miffed they are back after paying money to see that "Last Tour".
Long live good music, whatever your taste.

Ooh! Thanks Fan, that's a mellower sounding Mick. It'll take a few listens, a grower I think.

Thanks Fan, the samples sound good.

No, but I am a music writer, and I have met hundreds who are!

I had this exact conversation with Mike Rutherford who still enjoys writing and recording and touring, and has no intention of giving it up because he is as rich as Croesus!

Bob Dylan is minted & he keeps going on & on. IMHO, he must be the greatest song writer who's still living.

The Living Years, my old man's favourite song Andy. He loves Mike Rutherford

Looks like Oasis are probably going to reform to.
