Roxy Music became a successful act in Europe and Australia during the 1970s. This success began with their self-titled debut studio album in 1972. The band pioneered more musically sophisticated elements of glam rock while significantly influencing early English punk music, and provided a model for many new wave acts while innovating elements of electronic composition. The group also conveyed their distinctive brand of visual and musical sophistication with their focus on glamorous fashions. Ferry and co-founding member Eno have had influential solo careers. Eno became one of the most significant British record producers of the late 20th century. Rolling Stone originally ranked Roxy Music No. 98 on their greatest artists list ("The Immortals – The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time"), but dropped the group from the list when they updated it in 2011.
Roxy Music's final studio album was Avalon (1982), which was certified Platinum in the United States. In 2005, the band began recording what would have become their ninth studio album—and their first album with Eno since 1973 (he wrote two songs for it and also played keyboards). However, Ferry eventually announced that the material from these sessions would instead be released as a Ferry solo studio album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks", and that he believed the group would never again produce a record as Roxy Music. The album was released in 2010 as the Ferry solo studio album Olympia. It featured contributions from Eno, Manzanera, and Mackay (amongst many other session players).
In 2011, Roxy Music played a series of 40th-anniversary shows, but went inactive as a performing entity following the concerts. In 2019, Roxy Music were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2022, Roxy Music reformed for a tour to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut studio album.

Let's Stick Together
Roxy Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The man has put us together
Now you ought to make us stick together
Come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never
Well, now you never miss your water 'til your well is dry
Come on now baby, give our love a try
Come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never
Well, if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without it's Mom and Pop
Let's stick together, come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never
(Repeat)
The lyrics of Roxy Music's Let's Stick Together convey a message of commitment and loyalty in a relationship. The first verse establishes the sanctity of the marriage vow and emphasizes the importance of making that vow strong enough to withstand any challenges that may arise. The chorus urges the couple to stick together, with a sense of urgency and insistence. The second verse uses the metaphor of water to emphasize the idea that one may not realize what they have until it is gone. The lyrics then implore the listener to give the relationship a chance and consider the impact their split would have on their child.
The song's lyrics are not just a simple call for staying together, but a well-crafted message that resounds with emotional resonance. The singer stresses the importance of the marriage vow as an unbreakable bond that must not be taken lightly. The metaphorical language portrays the relationship as a precious resource worth preserving and nurturing.

@MildredBonkers
We saw him in Detroit this weekend and it was honestly the best concert I've ever been to in my life. I'm not a die hard fan or anything, but I felt like seeing Bryan Ferry live was like one of those things you must do before you die. I had low expectations but when we left, we were just stunned. Thanks, Mr. Ferry and crew! What a show! What a guy!
@Vershinova
I had great show in Austria. It was in 2019. Great show, people was listening every bit of this not ruined! Great show!
@jtb1649
He s at the end of the road.best concert.no. go see machester orchestra or war on drugs. They are great bands. Also check out courtney barnett. These are all very solid reccommendations, but to each their own

I was there with a group of friends. Waited for him outside the Fox Theater and he signed autographs for the fans. I’ve seen him at least six times and I will say that his voice is getting weaker. This man and his music makes me so happy. Will be seeing him in Austin this year.
@miwdiva
That's great to know! I haven't seen him myself yet but hope I do...
