Performer's return after a gap (8)

I believe the answer is:

comeback

(Other definitions for comeback that I've seen before include "make a reappearance" , "rejoinder" , "Revival" , "return appearance" , "Make a . . . . . . . . - return to competitive sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
