Roxy Music have been completely inactive for over three-and-a-half years, and guitarist Phil Manzanera says this break is probably going to last forever. "I don't think we're going to do any more shows," he says. "I think our job is done. When we stopped touring in 2011, Andy [Mackay] and I looked at each other and said, 'Our job is done here.'"
There hasn't been a new Roxy Music album since 1982's Avalon, but the group reformed in 2001 and have toured sporadically ever since. "Musicians like to do new things," says Manzanera. "It's unfortunate for the fans, really, because they would like you to play the same old stuff forever and ever. And they go see it and they feel like, 'Man, they aren't as good as they used to be.' I'm very happy doing new things. I've got a couple of albums coming in the next year."
