Why Keep Going?
Looking ahead to the recent undertakings of the band, Ricky Medlocke accepted the fact that the group could have wrapped things up years prior. “After all these years, it’s such a historical group, still playing music. People ask, ‘Why to keep going?’… I guess we could’ve stopped. But this is the only thing I know how to do, so I do it”.

The farewell tour is their goodbye to fans; to go out with their boots on, as Rossington put it. “We didn’t want to finish up by playing casinos and fairs, bringing our name down.” But he said that he has to be cautious as he has real heart problems. He said how Rickey’s only got half a lung, but he’s still wild on stage.
