No more touring for Antony?

Antony Hegarty
Oct 25, 2010 Updated Oct 26, 2010

The voice of Antony and the Johnsons, Antony Hegarty has hinted that he may never tour again, when discussing last year's gruelling schedulle.

The band's 4th album Swanlights has just been released, yet Antony told the UK’s Independent that touring for last year’s album left him burnt out and exhausted.
"I've been in a quandary - I have a problem with the amount of travelling there is, so it's a huge issue. And does that mean I'm never going to tour again? I don't really know." He said.
The band hasn’t yet announced any tour dates in support of the new album other than a one-off orchestra show in New York.
"It wrings out the marrow from your bones.  I remember Devendra Banhart once told me, 'I feel like a piece of charcoal'.  When you've poured everything out and there's nothing left, you feel like a piece of coal."
