MANOWAR singer Eric Adams says that he “will miss the big stage” after the band completes its upcoming farewell tour.

The New York-based veteran metal act announced in May 2016 that it would call it quits after one last tour, explaining that its most recent trek — “Gods And Kings” — was a groundbreaking moment in the band’s career and the group aimed to go out on a high.

Adams, whose real name is Lou Marullo, spoke about MANOWAR‘s final trek in a recent interview with “Outdoor Adventures With Jayson”. He said: “This is it. We’ve got one last tour coming up. As far as I know, it starts in November in Scandinavia. And then we head down to Germany in December. I fly home for Christmas around December 18, somewhere in there. And then I don’t know where we go after that. But it will continue for a little while after that; I just don’t know where yet. So I’m looking forward to that.”

The 63-year-old singer admitted that it was “kind of a Catch-22 thing” knowing that he would never perform with MANOWAR again. “I’m gonna miss the big stage — of course I am — but all good things have to come to an end at some point,” he said.

As for his future plans, Adams said: “MANOWAR has decided to call it a day, and who knows what’s gonna happen after that? I might continue to sing. I might just grab my bow and get out in the woods a little more often than I did before. But we’ll see. The future’s still yet to be told.”

Eric, who describes himself as “a big-time bow hunter,” has been a hunting-safety instructor for the state of New York where he teaches new hunters about the game laws in New York. He is also the hunting editor for Texas Fish & Game magazine.

MANOWAR‘s most recent studio effort was 2014’s re-recording of the band’s 1988 album “Kings Of Metal”.
