He has revealed that he will retire the face-paint by the end of the year.Back in January, he announced this and later on revealed his set of appearances across the year, which will be the last time fans can catch him in his iconic gear.See the announcement below."I have enjoyed meeting fans at events around the world. As much as I have loved interacting with you all in the traditional Stinger war paint, I’ve decided that 2025 will be my last year appearing in full gear. I guess it’s 2025 or never. Wow. Tough to speak that out." the Icon wrote.It seems that the veteran is only set to retire his use of his iconic gear, but has not ruled out any future appearances. He might join conventions and major events, but he'll wear a casual look without his usual face-paint and black coat. Fans should seize the opportunity to attend all his remaining scheduled events this year, as this will be their last chance to see him in this state.
