No excuses. Detox was first announced back in 2001. It took him 14 years to conclude that he wasn't feeling the material and to abandon it? He could have started all over years ago and put out 10 album in all that time. This had nothing to do with wanting to do right by fans; the same fans he's kept waiting for over 15 years. You don't do that to fans. They'll rightfully abandon you for that level of truancy. This was all about him making so much money from headphones that a new album fell way down his list of priorities.
