afterlife

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what might happen next?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'touring france unusual relief at' is the wordplay.
'touring' is an insertion indicator (touring can mean going round).
'france' becomes 'f'.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'relief'+'at'='reliefat'
'reliefat' anagrammed gives 'aterlife'.
'f' placed inside 'aterlife' is 'AFTERLIFE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afterlife that I've seen before include "Hoped-for future" , "Existence beyond the grave" , "Existence beyond death" , "paradise" , "Existence following death" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
