The wording may vary and each situation is different, but several effects feed into each other so that such announcements that alarm the media and the public can be successful.
There is a desire in the press to give spectacular headlines at the expense of dramatizing what is often nothing more than a mundane pause in a band’s natural cycle: album, tour, rest. Accordingly, bands know that announcing that the new tour will be, could be, or nearly be the last will whet the appetite of the media and ticket sales.
