It's safe to say that Faith No More's Sol Invictus will be making my list of best albums of the year. And, after seeing them a few weeks ago, I am now trying to get tickets for every one of their local and not-so-local upcoming appearances to get my fix of Faith No More as much as I can, because come the fall, we may not be seeing Faith No More again for a while.
Mike Patton spoke to Billboard about the band's lack of future plans:
“An old man only looks to the next day,” the 47-year-old Patton said. “We’re old men.
“So what you do is, you look to the next day or the next plan, and, honestly, we don’t have a plan after this tour or this record.”
This is not to say the band is breaking up again. Who knows? Maybe they're offering a killer spot on a touring festival or a co-headlining tour they can't turn down. All we know for sure is these are the final Faith No More dates (for now, at least)
