Why do musicians stop making music?

Countless examples of amazing artists, writing song after song, and then one day, they just stop, and you never hear from them again.
Do they just get burned out? Bored? Can't do it anymore?

A few return to play the old music, but they just don't seem to write new stuff. What's the deal with that?

I think because they're stuck in the past and only identify with a certain sound or style. The 1970's band 'Chicago' failed for that very reason.

@swirlie True, there are some artists that cannot play anything outside their usual.
