“This is Adios Mofo,” shared Nugent on YouTube and social media. “This is my last tour. Now, I’ll always play music. I’ve got new records I’m gonna make. I can’t wait to unleash some of these new songs.”
Nugent continued, thanking everyone for helping him live his “musical dream” and elaborated on why he’s done with touring.
“The point being is thank you, everybody, for an incredible musical dream. The musical dream will continue but I’m not going on tour anymore because hotels are jail. A hotel room is jail for me. My dogs won’t allow me to not spend a day with them, so [my dogs] will go on the road with me this year. But the logistics are just too complicated when you have dogs and grandkids and kids and so many other things.”
The guitarist also talked about his “radical” ways throughout his career.
“I’m radical,” Nugent added. “My music is radical. My attitude is radical. My middle finger is radical. My guitar sound is radical. The point is the American Dream has a soundtrack, and with my unbelievable musicians for 65 years, I have created the most fun, titillating, centrally stimulating soundtrack in the history of the world.”
He added, “This will be, like last year, in 2022, ‘Detroit Muscle,’ this will be the greatest, most intense, tightest, most dynamic, outrageously fun tour of my life. But ‘Adios Mofo’.”
The 74-year-old musician, who released his 16th album, Detroit Muscle, in 2022, has always been outspoken about music, politics, gun control, and then some.
“Communication is the key to quality of life and I communicate unafraid, unapologetically, and honestly with the world every day,” he said in a recent interview with American Songwriter. “Critical thinking turns me on.”
