Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann will celebrate his 65th birthday in December and has no plans to stop. In a conversation with Rapture Radio, transcribed by Blabbermouth.Net, he stated: “I don’t have the slightest desire, I don’t want to retire, because, in a way, the band had a big break in the nineties, or the end of the nineties until mid-2000s,” he said.

For Wolf, this preview of retirement was enough and he doesn’t want to repeat the dose. “This is what I love and what I want to do and I think you only retire from things that you don’t like, and if you find something that really makes you happy, why retire from it? So I want to do it until the end, man, whatever”, he concluded.

Even after decades, Wolf doesn’t feel bored. “I think you only feel bored if you stop caring, if you don’t care anymore. Maybe then you’ll get bored, but I’ve never felt like that. I really keep going through these challenges and now it’s super exciting. We’re doing a tour in America from the South and things are new and we have a whole year of touring ahead of us. I can’t see it getting boring,” he said.
In a previous interview, Wolf discussed the possibility of dropping dead on stage, saying, “That’s my personal goal because I don’t think retirement is an attractive option. Maybe it’s partly because I was retired and away from the music industry for ten years when I became a photographer and did something completely different from music. It was a good few years in a way, but now that I’m back, I find it much more fulfilling, and I have something, a goal, where I get up every day and have something that really excites me. and it occupies me all day.”
