I can't help but to agree. In past years, when I saw fans getting discouraged, I would say "at least at the beginning of the year, we'll have Les Enfoires to look forward to." and we no longer have even that.
She has to make a decision soon as to whether to make a new addition to her family or make another attempt at a new album. As Marisa Tomei said in the movie 'My Cousin Vinny', her biological clock is ticking and she can't wait much longer if she wants another child.
I think the fact she is discouraged by all her failures which were brought about either by her own ineptness at running her career or her failure to get rid of anyone else who influenced all her bad decisions.
I'm sure after the tournee, there will be more meaningless (for us) appearances here and there, but that's not what her fans who know what she is capable of want and so many have fallen by the wayside that I think AAm, in addition to AF will be just a memory a year from now.
