He can do anything he wants now (as long as he can afford it): He can record when he wants and what he wants, and he can play out live when he wants and what he wants. He can find whatever other outlets he wants, too, whether that's scoring movies (everybody knows James Newton Howard and Danny Elfman more for their movie scores than their earlier band work) or painting or writing or even teaching master classes in music technology so that the Brian Wilson and George Martin approaches aren't lost forever.
Do your Whitman thing, Buckingham.
THE untold want by life and land ne'er granted,
Now voyager sail thou forth to seek and find.

Couldn’t he do that while he was in the band though? In addition whether he was in the band or not over the past 30 years I don’t think he did much production (besides for himself), painting or scoring work, if any.
He could have been Whitman anytime. He’ll be back in this band.
