What Acts Will NEVER RETIRE?

You know, they all live separate lives normally, but once in a while they get the call round, crank up the old tracks, write a bunch of new stuff to release an album, but will drop them when they get 2 albums old, and still they come!

It's not only the Rolling Stones, is it?

I feel like Metallica might keep going forever. The breaks between albums and tours will just get longer.

I checked wiki to see if The Damned were still going after 152 farewell tours (they are) and the article's full of Ned Raggett quotes.

Mike Watt. Dude's gonna outlive me, I swear.

― MacDara, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

Henry Rollins.

(if Mike Watt counts... - maybe I'm gullible, but I don't believe these two are acts. And so they can't retire.)

The Fall, if you consider The Fall to be Mark E. Smith and his current backing band

― Binjominia, Tuesday, 13 November 2007 21:46 (eighteen years ago)

Presumably bands in this thread need never retire
