"The following year he was the subject of a PBS American Masters documentary, James Brown: Soul Survivor. He continued performing well into the first decade of the 2000s, appearing at the second Bonnaroo festival in 2003, at the Edinburgh Live 8 concert in 2005, and setting out on his "Seven Decades Of Funk World Tour" in 2006."[3]
Brown died of congestive heart failure due to complications from pneumonia on December 25, 2006, four years after The Next Step was released.[3]
