No, It's an indication of the guy being in his 60's and 70s and wanting to slow down. You conveneniently left out the first few years after he left VH when he was playing more shows. So much to sticking to the facts... ;)

1997–1999: ~150 shows
2000–2002: ~120 shows

The guy is a also multi-millionaire...he didn't need or want to be on tour for months at a time at that point. If he did he could easily do a huge combined headline tour with another act, I'm sure, but never did as had no desire to.

Can we not just agree to disagree, as this is getting painful.. ;)
