In October 2011, after the release of the album Decadancing, Fossati announced during Fabio Fazio's TV show Che tempo che fa that he decided to end his music career: "I've been thinking a lot about it, not in the last days, but during last two or three years. This will be my last album, and I won't record any new album. And my next tour will be the last one." ^[2] Fossati's last concert was held at the Teatro Piccolo in Milan, on 19 March 2012. ^[3]

On November 25, 2023, Ivano Fosssati and other author of ''Jesahel'' ( Oscar Prudente) together with Universal Music Group sue Public Enemy for plagiarism, since Fossati and Prudente are not recognized as co-authors of " Harder Than You Think" ^{[4] [5]}
