Earlier this year, a press release for "This Is Not a Drill" described the tour as:

Roger Waters is teasing the 2023 tour as his first farewell tour.

More about Roger Waters
Roger Waters is the co-founding member of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd, which was formed in 1965. The artist began his tenure with Pink Floyd as their bassist. However, he developed his skills in various other areas, including singing and songwriting. Waters is popularly known as the primary creative force behind the album Dark Side of the Moon. The album now holds second place among all sold in the global market as per sales levels.
Earlier this year, Roger Waters was seemingly upset at the Canadian media and critics for not reviewing his live concerts when Pink Floyd and Drake were performing in Canada. In an interview, Waters asserted that he was far more important than the other artists, saying:
“I’m not trying to make a personal attack. I’m just saying it seemed odd. And, by the way, with all due respect to the Weeknd or Drake or any of them, I am far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be, however many billions of streams they’ve got. There is stuff going on here that is fundamentally important to all of our lives.”
In 1985, Waters left Pink Floyd to pursue a solo career, which he continues with to this day by giving live concerts in places worldwide. He commenced his "This Is Not a Drill tour" in 2020.
