""I was blown away," said May of seeing The Eagles' concert at the venue. "It's one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. Such a wonderful marriage of sound and wonderful music and incredible visual contact content. And yeah, it's got my mind working.""
"He added, "I'm very keen on the Sphere ... I sat there watching The Eagles, thinking, 'We should do this. The stuff that we could bring to this would be stupendous.' So, yeah, I would like to do it. We're having conversations.""
""I've had 50 years of touring, and there's a part of me that thinks it's enough," explained May. "I don't like the idea that you wake up in your hotel room and you're trapped. I had a few experiences recently where stuff happened at home with my family and I could not go home. It got under my skin and I just thought, 'I'm not sure if I want this anymore.' I feel like I've given up my freedom too many times. So my feeling at the moment is I don't want to tour as such. I still want to play shows. I still want to innovate.""
