Not quite--he was too ill during the recording to continue with the band, so Ian took over and did most of the bass parts on Stormwatch and then hired Dave Pegg for the tour. Glascock didn't actually die until after the album was completed and the band was in the middle of a tour without him. Ian gave himself the main bass credit on the album, with the songs John played on listed separately, in smaller print, as if an afterthought. A lot of fans see this as a callous move on Ian's part.
But not a "real" Tull album, by which I mean a studio album of new material. There's only an EP's worth of new Tull songs on there, the bulk of it being either remakes of old songs or traditional carols.
