Edwyn Collins, the architect of a sound that quietly shaped alternative rock from the margins, has announced his retirement from music following a final series of performances in Spain. He survived two strokes that might have silenced him permanently, yet returned to the stage not for redemption but for the simple reason that he still had something to say. Now, having spent a career choosing credibility over commerce, he is choosing to leave before the work loses its meaning — a final act of the same integrity that defined every choice before it.
