Tool fans recently wondered if the lengthy onstage goodbyes on the 2020 Fear Inoculum tour means it could be the band’s final lengthy tour. Rage Against The Machine recently leaked a sad Maynard James Keenan photo.
Deadhorse666 posted on Reddit, “Tool farewell? Recently saw tool, and it was fantastic as expected. It did feel a little like a farewell, the way they stood silently for a few minutes gazing at us freaks. They didn’t want to leave the stage it seemed, and when they lingered for awhile, it felt like a victory lap. Could this be the end for them?”
Detailsofourending added, “I think they love it too much to retire while they’re still killing it. Also, a lot of money to be made. That said, after Neil Peart’s death, I am treating every Tool show like it will be my last Tool show.”

I always thought after the big lull between 10k Days and Fear Inoculum that if they release another album it’d probably be the last one. I know Danny has said that they still have a ton of content, but at this point in all their lives given their ages and the fact that they all have families and kids I wouldn’t be surprised to see that FI is it. Only Tool knows.”
Avalonfogdweller said, “They’ve (minus Maynard) been spending time at the end of shows soaking up the love for quite a few years now, one thing on this tour I love is how just before the intermission they all stand motionless for a minute or so while the lights go down.” A Tool member’s wife recently posted a nice swimsuit photo.
