=== European tour ===
When the European leg of the Cry of Love tour began, Hendrix was longing for his new studio and creative outlet, and was not eager to fulfill the commitment. On September 2, 1970, he abandoned a performance in [[Aarhus]] after three songs, stating: "I've been dead a long time".{{sfn|Black|1999|p=241}} Four days later, he gave his final concert appearance, at the Isle of [[Fehmarn]] Festival in West Germany.{{sfn|Brown|1997|p=77}} He was met with booing and jeering from fans in response to his cancellation of a show slated for the end of the previous night's bill due to torrential rain and risk of electrocution.{{sfn|Brown|1997|pp=65–77}}{{refn|group=nb|A live recording of the concert was later released as ''[[Live at the Isle of Fehmarn]]''.{{sfn|Moskowitz|2010|p=176}}}} Immediately following the festival, Hendrix, Mitchell, and Cox traveled to London.{{sfn|McDermott|2009|p=248}}

Three days after the performance, Cox, who was suffering from severe [[paranoia]] after either taking LSD or being given it unknowingly, quit the tour and went to stay with his parents in Pennsylvania.<ref>{{harvnb|McDermott|2009|p=248}}; {{harvnb|Shadwick|2003|p=240}}.</ref> Within days of Hendrix's arrival in England, he had spoken with Chas Chandler, [[Alan Douglas (record producer)|Alan Douglas]], and others about leaving his manager, Michael Jeffery.{{sfn|Shadwick|2003|pp=242–243}} On September 16, Hendrix performed in public for the last time during an informal jam at [[Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club]] in [[Soho]] with [[Eric Burdon]] and his latest band, [[War (American band)|War]].{{sfn|Shadwick|2003|p=243}} They began by playing a few of their recent hits, and after a brief intermission Hendrix joined them during "[[Mother Earth (Memphis Slim song)|Mother Earth]]" and "[[Tobacco Road (song)|Tobacco Road]]".{{sfn|Brown|1997|p=107}} He died less than 48 hours later.{{sfn|Brown|1997|pp=103–107}}
