I saw these boys back in the 80's in Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena and along with the concert program received tinnitus as a memory. I can't imagine the funding on the ears year after year.
I suffer from tinnitus to this day.

Happens to us all, I commend him for reckonizing the problem and doing something about it before he looses all of his hearing.

I agree with his decision but the brother on Angus, Malcom is no longer with the band and Phil Rudd is gone as well. This has become a tribute band. I certainly would not pay to see a Beatles reunion when Lennon and Harrison are no long with the band. Some bands like to have a slow death. A perfect example of that is my favourite band The Beach Boys. I remember a concert when Al Jardine was the only player and his group included only family and friends. His contribution of Help Me Rhonda was exceptional but Al singing Brian or Carl Wilson and Bruce's Disney Girls was not worth the price of admission.

Same thing with The Who. Most bands could get away with new drummers or bass players, but it's just not The Who any more without John Entwistle and Keith Moon. As for the Beach Boys, the big band that Brian Wilson has been touring with does an outstanding job pulling off the Beach Boys classics like Good Vibrations live.

You are correct as I have seen him numerous times, but I grew up on Brian, Carl, Dennis, Al and Mike, Bruce Johnston and David Marks not John Cowsill, Jeff Foskett etc.
