He has retired.

I thought that was bullshit I can't imagine him ever retiring certainly not doing anything for years but not retiring.

He'll still never play Glastonbury and if he did I'm not sure where he'd fit in. Anything but the Pyramid would feel like an insult but I fear it'd be spoiled by those not familiar with him.

I guess if he played (which he never will, let's face reality) he'd headline West Holts? He'd probably be better suited to Acoustic but it'd likely be Portishead 95 all over again. 

I'd be happy if he ever plays any UK gigs again, let alone Glasto.

Retired from touring I shoulda said, as he's clearly not whiling away his days in FL. I thought I'd read it somewhere but I've had a scout about and there's no verified word on live retirement. Still tho, nine years without a proper show, him being late 60's and looking unlike there's a cause to get back on the road; I'd be surprised to see further shows.

Emily has spoken of intent to get him on the farm plenty so I'd think it'd be Pyramid or nowt in the crazy scenario he ends up playing. She called him a "potential to headline" but I would think a few notches down in a Stoff/Burt type slot and it'd probably do him a disservice.
