As their tour wound down at Berkeley's Greek Theatre in the fall of 2021, Micky Dolenz didn't know it A would be the last time he'd perform with fellow Monkee Mike Nesmith. "He was a little bit frail, [but] he was a trooper, I gotta tell you," Micky tells Closer. "He could not have been feeling that well. After the last show, we kind of said our goodbyes because that was the last show not like I'm never going to see him again. So, [my last words to him] I could have been: 'Wow, great tour, great show, leave them with a bang.""
As the last surviving member of the 1960s pop group The Monkees, Micky is determined to do just that - share the music he loves and keep the legacy of former band members Mike, Peter Tork and Davy Jones alive. "It's what I do," Micky says. "I'm going to keep touring. And I'm finding the fans are really loving stories. I ask them at the beginning of the show, 'Listen, do you mind if I tell you a story?' Because I wasn't sure if they just wanted to hear all of the music, all of the hits, and go home. So I ask."
