I think the writer makes a mistake in calling this Gord's "last album". While it is certainly true that Introduce Yerself represents him reflecting on his mortality, which does make it a "brave" record, I believe there will be more solo work to come from him. In the Mansbridge interview he referenced having "3 or 4 albums in the can" and we know that he's done a fair bit of work with Bob Rock on his own. It would be interesting to know who the family is going to put in charge of curating his unreleased solo material and if he left any wishes for what he wanted done with it.
