A couple of us really hit a wall, he said.
I felt sick when I thought of going onstage.
My body was telling me, You gotta stop.

And so I listened to my body.
What matters to me is the art of playing, and the music.
Thats what people loved.
Thats what they come to see.
But if thats not there, my going isnt happening.
My body told me to not do it.
They wont be marathons.
They wont be two hours and 10 minutes of blasting rock & roll like it was with Crazy Horse.
Crazy Horse drummer Ralph Molina and Crazy Horse bassist Billy Talbot are both 80 years old.
Crazy Horse will be back, God willing, he said.
That cant be controlled.
You cant tell when thats going to happen.
Im sorry to all the people who bought tickets who couldnt go, but I listened to my body.
