“I don’t see it as a sad thing”: Last Faith No More tour had “unspoken” sense of closure, says Mike Patton

Faith No More singer Mike Patton says that the band’s last tour came with an “unspoken” sense of closure.

The alternative metal innovators last hit the road in 2015, promoting the release of that year’s comeback album Sol Invictus. They were scheduled to return in 2020, but plans for their live shows were postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, then abandoned altogether following Patton’s struggle with mental health issues.
