But gossip swirled that he was stressed, that he couldn’t keep apace with the changing game, and his health was taking a toll. He retired after two more seasons, bowed out with a title, the last his club kissed, so that he “needed more time with his wife.” Scuttlebutts were not too far away. Some claimed he was tired of the Glazers, the American owners; some sensed he wanted to keep his legacy intact and break the concert when his sound was still good. But intrigue continues to swirl, like an unsolved whodunit.

He can live in Etihad forever, winking at his own bronze statue. Yet, there are reports that …

According to investigators probing the lapses and circumstances that led to the fire, only a forensic report, which is awaited, shall conclusively establish how it started. An investigator, requesting anonymity, said a belly dancer and her troupe, who were performing on the stage at the time, were summoned during the probe. “In their testimonies, the band performers, who used the fireworks, claimed that the electrical fireworks involved ‘cold’ pyro machines, which do not cause a fire. They used four such spark machines. They showed videos, claiming that similar fireworks were used in earlier performances at the club and other locations.” …
