Peter Gabriel To Take A Year Off

Once his North American tour is done, we won't see him for 12 months

Published 5th Sep 2012

Gabriel, who releases a brand new expanded version of So on 22 October, has revealed that he won't be bringing his Front To Back retrospective tour to Europe or release his first album of new studio material for a decade anytime soon as he is taking a sabbatical.

"What I am doing after this tour is something I meant to do a long time ago, which is a sabbatical year with my family," he tells Rolling Stone in a new interview. "And we will be trying not to spend too much time in airports, at the same time visiting quite a few different countries and places of natural or scientific interest. We're going to be following up on some of the interesting invitations I've had over the years and never had the time to follow through on. So I'm really excited about it and we’re looking forward to it."
