Crosby made headlines eight months ago when he declared he was done performing live, saying he was too old. He said he could not do it. However, he was recording as fast as he could: "I have been making records at a startling rate.

It works that way. So, as long as it’s good, I’m cranking out as much music as possible. Crosby subsequently backtracked about retiring from performing live in mid-December, saying, “Dare I say it? I have another one already in the can waiting.” It's time for me to start another band and play live again.”
