Comeback

For other uses, see Comeback (disambiguation).

A comeback refers to the return of a person of public interest after a long-term hiatus or when an entity recovers from a large deficit to achieve victory. The term is predominantly used in politics, sports and music. In the case of a band, the term reunion is used.

Well-known comebacks include the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, those of boxer Muhammad Ali after a three-year break from 1967 until 1970, and singer Yusuf Islam, who found earlier success as Cat Stevens and was not active from 1978 until 1995. In the NBA, the Utah Jazz achieved a 36-point comeback over the Denver Nuggets in 1996.
