Australian musician Nick Cave says he will retire from music when he is physically incapable of suddenly falling to his knees while on stage.

The Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds frontman, 67, has tour dates upcoming in North America from April to May this year, and released an album, Wild God, in August 2024.
