We haven't heard from Mr O for a while. It's a terrible thing to suggest... and I'll only hint at it... But perhaps he's gone to the Great Pixie?  :O

Oh don't even think that! I do hope he is okay. If he is (hopefully) enjoying a happy retirement, I wish him well. His body of work is enough for any mere mortal! But if he has retired, I just wish he had made some kind of farewell announcement first - I would have been happy with that, and it would have stopped all the speculation about what he is up to.

I am sure he is fine, the whole build up to the 50th anniversary of Tubular Bells starts now, so I would guess we will be hearing a lot from him over the coming months.

It's interesting, though, that he is such a recluse that he could well go to the Great Pixie and have his estate carry on his affairs - even release prerecorded albums - after the event, and no one would ever know.

I'd like to think so, but the London concerts apparently backed by him start next week & we haven't heard a peep....

One of the blurbs from the TB London concerts has a “Mike says” from him - formulaic stuff about how pleased he is that it’s being performed live again and so forth. It looks very much like a written statement, possibly by a publicist.
Pure speculation, but my guess is that he’s either losing interest and happy to be retired, or isn’t in the best of health.
