Musician and producer Brian Eno turned down an invitation to join Roxy Music for their 2022 reunion and 50th-anniversary farewell tour due to his refusal to travel by airplane. Bandmate Phil Manzanera shared the detail during a recent interview discussing the release of the For Your Pleasure Super Deluxe Edition, noting that the group had hoped to have Eno on stage with them one final time.
While the decision kept Eno away from the anniversary tour, the artist later embarked on his first-ever solo tour in 2023. Those dates were strictly confined to the UK and Europe, regions that can be reached by train, car, or other ground transportation methods, aligning with his stance on reducing carbon emissions.
Fans interested in the band's history can explore the newly released For Your Pleasure Super Deluxe Edition, available now. This archival release highlights the influential art-rock group's early catalog during a period that featured Eno's prominent synthesizer work.
