Although Peter Gabriel's 25th anniversary tour behind his classic So album is receiving raves, the tour won't continue past the middle of next month. We asked Gabriel if he was currently working on new music -- and he revealed that he's about to take an extended period of time off: "Yeah, there is new music, but actually, something which I've been intending to do for the last 12 years; I'm going to take a sabbatical year after the tour with my family traveling around the world visiting some of the people we know in the music world, the Human rights world and scientific community -- as well as some straight-forward tourism, so I'm really looking forward to that."
