I saw Richie Kotzen last year and after the last song before the encore, he said “let’s pretend I went backstage and got out again”, then he proceeded to perform the encore.
It used to make sense. They do a whole high energy show, then need to take a leak or have some water/cocaine before they do the big outro that makes everyone happy.
Then some artists started getting stupid about it, and its become more a meme than a logistics reality.
Like when you go to a concert and the band says that <your city> has the best audience.
