If you had ever hoped to someday see drummer Bill Bruford perform live, again or for the first time, your chances of that happening are now pretty much zero.
From allaboutjazz.com:

After 41 years spent first in the art rock arena with everyone from Yes and King Crimson to Genesis, in addition to his own inestimable forays into fusion with his critically and popularly praised ’70s group Bruford, then turning to things more jazzy from the ’80 onwards with various incarnations of his much- heralded Earthworks group and his equally acclaimed improvising duet with pianist Michiel Borstlap, veteran drummer Bill Bruford has announced he’s hanging up his sticks and and retiring from public performance, effective January 1, 2009.
As Bruford told AAJ’s Managing Editor John Kelman, “41 years of me is quite enough for anybody, and especially me!” though he thankfully clarified that he’s not retiring from recording.

Here is a photo I took of Bruford in performance with King Crimson in 1974.
