Dead and Company, months after final tour, reunites for residency at Las Vegas Sphere

John Mayer, left, and Bob Weir, right, of rock group Dead and Company will reunite for a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. Rock band Dead and Company will reunite for more performances later this year, despite completing its “final tour” in 2023. “But there are other ways to make sure the music never stops.” In the Instagram clip, audio of Dead and Company delivering the opening lines of Grateful Dead’s take on “Not Fade Away” scores video of the band’s technicolor logo filling the Sphere’s exterior LED screens. Before the group started touring with a pair of shows in Los Angeles, Dead and Company revealed in April 2023 that founding member and Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann would not join the tour. “Bill wants you to know that he is in good spirits, good health and he is not retiring.” Dead and Company clarified that it would carry out its final tour “with Bill’s full endorsement and support.” The band’s tour ended in July with several shows in San Francisco.
