Throughout his life, Henry Rollins devoted many years to music, especially punk. In addition to leading the hardcore band State of Alert for a while, the artist peaked as the leader of Black Flag from 1981 to 1986. However, Rollins confessed that he will not be making music again, arguing that he is “smart enough not to return for the encore.”
This is how the punk icon stated in a new interview with Chuck Armstrong of Loudwire Nights, where he talked about his passion for writing and the release of his new book Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 4 - Lessons In Possession and Confessions of Obsession.
Rollins confessed that his work ethic solidified during his time headlining Black Flag, describing the project as a “hard-working band.” The artist said: “Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski were like the elders, the big ones in the group, and from them I learned my work ethic, as far as music goes and everything, because they were unbreakable.”
Already immersed in the musical theme, Armstrong reminded Rollins of a statement he made in 2023 that he wouldn't return to a stage with a band for anything in the world. Far from dodging that question, the artist answered:
"I'm smart enough not to return for the encore (... ) I just walk away... I don't quit silently. I don't fade away. "I simply leave after every obligation has been fulfilled."
