I was at her event in NY in November where she said she rediscovered the fact that music is the love of her life. People said she had quit after the last tour and here she is again. I think it’s honestly a waste to talk about this type of thing as others on this forum have stated.

Llistening to the recent and wonderful interview with World Cafe, I think PJ Harvey will be performing and recording for a long time to come. I think she was truly devastated to have lost touch with her love of making music during the Hope Six era, and she seems grateful to have reconnected with that creative spark; she speaks of being in her mid-fifties and about her previous doubts about making music/performing for her remaining years. I don't know, something about the way she spoke gave me the impression that she's going to keep going for a long time to come, like Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, and others. i can easily envision a 65 or 75 year old Polly Harvey still sounding incredible in live performance.
