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 25 November 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]
