In early December 2023, Sepultura issued a statement revealing that the band "has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death. Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe. It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time."

An update from Sepultura states: "We’re thrilled to announce that our "Celebrating Life Through Death" tour is returning to Latin America in 2025!

Announcing the "Celebrating Life Through Death" tour, the band also said, "During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage."

In an interview with Moshpit Passion, Sepultura guitarist, Andreas Kisser, is asked how the live recordings are coming along. He responds, in part, "It's a big challenge, but, yeah, we are able to go to so many different cities and stuff. And I think we're gonna have a better idea when it's gonna come out and how it's gonna come out maybe early next year."

Asked if the band's final show will be included in the release, Andreas answers, "Who knows? Everything's possible. We did three big shows in São Paulo before we went to the States, and we recorded the whole show... the cameras, DVD and stuff. Of course, this stuff that we're recording for the live album it's audio only. And we are planning to have the last farewell show in São Paulo in 2026, so we like to go places, we like to visit places that we've never been before. We like to do our goodbye in a relaxed mood, no hurry, you know, there's no reason really to rush anything, you know. We are enjoying the moment so much, we are celebrating. The momentum, it's fantastic, it's amazing. So it's something that is gonna be on the recording as well, you know, this great vibe, the connection we have with the crowd and stuff. But, yeah, everything is possible. I mean, of course, the last show, would be great to have a register. We like to invite all the ex-members, including the brothers, Cavalera brothers. Let's see what happens."

The next stop on Sepultura's Celebrating Life Through Death farewell tour is scheduled for November 29 at Alcans Hall in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Find the band's tour itinerary and ticket links at sepultura.com.br/tour.
