Brian Eno, the man who created the groundbreaking album Music for Airports nearly five decades ago, has recently turned down Roxy Music's 2022 farewell tour, as revealed by the band's former guitarist Phil Manzanera. Manzanera revealed this in an interview with Vulture, commenting on the band's recently released For Your Pleasure Super Deluxe Edition.
He recounted that the band desperately wanted Eno to join them for one final performance. Manzanera quoted Eno as saying, "I'm not flying anymore for environmental reasons." Given Eno's similar demeanor when they first met in 1971, the guitarist chose to believe him. Since then, Eno has resumed touring, notably embarking on his first solo tour in 2023, with all the dates taking place in the UK and Europe, which could be reached via train or other eco-friendly means.
It remains a mystery as to whether the ambient music pioneer has avoided airports entirely for the past several years.
