He probably DOES still have a voice.
But he hasn't shown any inclination to want to return to the stage.
He probably achieved his dreams already and is content to just enjoy his money. No need to work, so why work?
He got major recognition for his vocal talent and his music.
He got to experience audiences on a HUGE scale. He sold millions of copies of music he co-wrote and helped make magical.
He made big bucks, and the bucks still roll in even though he doesn't have to leave the house to earn them anymore.
Most of us in this life just want to earn enough money to maintain a decent standard of living, to be have our efforts acknowledged/appreciated and to love/be loved.
And I bet many of us would give up our jobs if we were financially secure at a relatively young age.
From what I've read, he seems content to stay out of the limelight and is satisfied with his past achievements. He seems financially well off and is just enjoying the fruits of his past labours.
Many people would envy that.
I wish I could afford to retire - even though I enjoy my work. Early retirement with loads of money in the Bank would compensate me for not working.
He should NOT return.
It's too late for him to go back even if he wanted to.
The Journey machine has moved on.
If he were to release some new solo stuff, though, that would be a different matter.
