Thanks for not letting me down! Your relentless sarcasm is appreciated (usually)!
His name is John
Maybe because he died on December 17, 2010. RIP Don Van Vilet.
Au contraire, Charlie is still very active in the music business:
That's taking retirement a bit far isn't it?
eh?
last studio album just three years ago - and then the big astral weeks stuff replete with live album and he still tours and plays gigs here and there. not even close to almost retired.
so that's where mick and keef got the idea....
Laughing my arse off!!!
I don't know if he was completely retired. I don't think he took on any projects, but I think he made a couple of solo recordings, not entire albums, just a few songs. And he appeared with Pearl Jam a few times after Ramones disbanded. I know for sure he played "The KKK Took My Baby Away" with Pearl Jam at a 1998 concert.
Talk about your favorite band.

Grace Slick doesn't do music anymore.
In the mid-90's Paul Simon said he was "absolutely" through performing live - that was about 500 concerts ago.
Who has stepped away?

David Bowie - stepped back in 2004, due to illness; but has not started up his career again after that.

Of course he has since passed away, but Johnny Ramone stayed firmly retired after the Ramones disbanded in 1996 up until his death in 2004.

(almost) every artist who saw his/her creative vein running dry and realized that there was no future except releasing deluxe packages of old revisited stuff
(I'm not usually a basher, I'll support them anyway buying their releases; let's say I'll paciently wait to be contradicted and I'll be very happy in case it will happen; a sort of tease and invocation for something new).

Van Morrison has almost retired. No new album in years, only a handful of concerts, no archive releases. But as a young father he's probably busy with his kids.
Anyway, if he has nothing good new songs to offer it is better if he does not release a weak album. His body of work is so great that the fans will have years to listen to!
