"I sat down with my wife when the thing was proposed, the tour,” Emmett, 72, told Ultimate Guitar in January 2026. “And she said, 'Well, let's do pros and cons.' And so I go, 'Well, okay, let's start with the pros. I think the first one would be that I'm just going to have to get myself back in shape. Like, I'm going to have to work out, and I'm going to have to get my cardio up again and all that stuff.' And she said, 'Stop right there. That's a good enough reason to do it. Why wouldn't you want to get yourself in better shape?' And she said, 'We don't need to do the list anymore. That's one good reason. That's good enough.'"
Emmett told Ultimate Guitar that it has been “fun” getting back to tour rehearsals. “That's one of the things that draws you,” he explained. “So even though you're in your 70s, it hasn't stopped being fun.”
“It's broken the whole routine of being a retired guy sitting around and slowly but surely rotting away,” Emmett added.
In December, Emmett told The Preston and Steve Show that he “thought” he’d retired until the 1979 Triumph song “Lay It on the Line" had an expected resurgence.
In addition to motivation to get into shape, Emmett told Ultimate Guitar that there was “an accumulation of many things over time” that prompted him to agree to the tour.
Triumph’s Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded tour starts April 22 in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, and runs through June 6 in Boston, MA.
