Further details for Rollins’ Japan and Thailand tour dates have yet to be announced.
The punk rock icon stopped writing new music over a decade ago, turning to podcasting, writing, acting, comedy and more instead.
“The smart thing I did as a younger man was one day I woke up in my bed and I went, ‘I’m done with music. I don’t hate it. I just have no more lyrics. There’s no more toothpaste in the tube’,” Rollins said of his decision to walk away from making music.
“Luckily, I had enough movies, voiceover, documentary work, writing, talking, where that just filled in, and now I’m busier than ever. But I walked away before I had to start saying, ‘Hey, kids, remember this one?’ So I didn’t have to put it on and go up there and put on the dog and yelp for my dinner.”
Rollins has also recently announced he will be bringing his ‘Good To See You’ tour to the UK next year. The tour dates are being billed as a “talking show” in parts, in which Rollins will “faithfully recount the events of his life in the brief pre-COVID period since the last tour and when things got even stranger over the last several months”.
The tour date is the latest in a string of shows to be announced for Asia this year. Other high profile acts performing in the region in 2022 include Justin Bieber, Russ, Westlife and Green Day, Epik High, Sigur Rós, Boy Pablo and more.
