No new music whatsoever for 41 years and completely inactive for something like 33 of those. Welcome though some of the sporadic touring reunions have been, not least the triumph of 2001, Roxy's obituary was penned decades ago.

Great memories and a massive legacy, but sadly it's over, save for scrambling about in the archives to knock out a SDE once a decade or so to a dwindling number of fans. For such an influential band it is, I believe, a demise without parallel. Lesser bands and artists live on, with profiles undimmed or even enhanced compared to their heyday, thanks to proactive management and a level of engagement which has simply never existed in Roxy's case.
