(sorry I like some classical)
Jean Sibelius once remarked to close friends, "If I cannot write a better symphony than my Seventh, then it shall be my last." Thankfully he did not end his compositional career after his Seventh Symphony. Before largely dropping out of the public sphere, Sibelius finished his remarkable incidental music to Shakespeare's The Tempest and tone poem Tapiola.
