In a statement, Morris said of the Farewell Tour, “… I’m not built for the repetitive; it’s like circling the drain, and I refuse to let that be my story.
“So, we’ve crafted this tour as a kind of farewell—a grand send-off to this chapter. Is it the last shows? Who can say for sure? Life’s unpredictable, and I’m not one for absolutes.”
He added, “But right now, it feels like it could be. One thing’s certain: no more endless rounds of clubs, pubs, or RSLs. Maybe a rare one-off gig down the line, if the stars align.
“For now, though, this is my way of closing the loop—not the end of my music, but the end of the beginning. A pivot, not a full stop.”
