Paul Simon

Simon has hinted for some time that the end of the road might be close before making the official announcement, telling in 2016: 맥스카지노�Showbiz doesn맥스카지노�t hold any interest for me.맥스카지노� But it wasn맥스카지노�t until February 5 that he confirmed it.

맥스카지노�I맥스카지노�ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I맥스카지노�d consider bringing my performing career to a natural end,맥스카지노� Simon wrote in . 맥스카지노�Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief.맥스카지노� He explained that the time away from his family was taking a toll, but that he hoped to do 맥스카지노�the occasional performance in a (hopefully) acoustically pristine hall, and to donate those earnings to various philanthropic organizations, particularly those whose objective is to save the planet.맥스카지노�

Simon맥스카지노�s last show is set for July 15 at Hyde Park in London.

Elton John

John announced his retirement from touring on January 24th in an interview with , explaining that he wants to spend more time with his two children. But the decision isn맥스카지노�t effective immediately—he맥스카지노�s embarking on a three-year, 300-gig tour beginning in September of 2018, by which point it맥스카지노�s fair to say he will have earned a break.

맥스카지노�By the time the tour finishes I맥스카지노�ll be 74, and there맥스카지노�ll be so much more for me to do creatively, but it won맥스카지노�t be touring,맥스카지노� he said. 맥스카지노�David [his husband] and I sat down with a school schedule, and I thought, I don맥스카지노�t want to miss too much of this… When I stop, they맥스카지노�re going to be 10 and 8, and that맥스카지노�s a very important time of their lives. I see them a lot anyway. But I love them so much. I don맥스카지노�t want to miss them and I don맥스카지노�t want them to miss me.맥스카지노�

But John is not retiring from making records—he expects to make 맥스카지노�a couple more albums맥스카지노�—and didn맥스카지노�t rule out future concert performances. 맥스카지노�I would imagine it would be something like a residency, like Kate Bush did at the Hammersmith Apollo; she did three weeks. I don맥스카지노�t want to travel."

Neil Diamond

Diamond on January 22, following his diagnosis with Parkinson맥스카지노�s Disease. In a statement, Diamond said that he plans to keep for as long as his health allows. 맥스카지노�It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring,맥스카지노� he said. 맥스카지노�I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years.맥스카지노�

The last stage of Diamond맥스카지노�s world tour—in Australia and New Zealand—was set to begin in March, but that leg has been cancelled. His last public performance was on Dick Clark맥스카지노�s Rockin맥스카지노� New Year맥스카지노�s Eve.

Aretha Franklin

Franklin will play her last concerts in 2018, she confirmed in an interview last year. 맥스카지노�I will be recording, but this will be my last year in concert,맥스카지노� she told Detroit맥스카지노�s . 맥스카지노�맥스카지노�I feel very, very enriched and satisfied with respect to where my career came from and where it is now. I맥스카지노�ll be pretty much satisfied, but I맥스카지노�m not going to go anywhere and just sit down and do nothing. That wouldn맥스카지노�t be good either.맥스카지노�

Franklin맥스카지노�s last concert is currently scheduled for June 2 in Boston. But as part of , she has expressed interest in opening a nightclub in downtown Detroit, and has noted that she would perform there should that dream come to pass.

Lynyrd Skynrd

The band will retire from touring after one last run of concerts, they announced in January. 맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s hard to imagine, after all these years, the band that Ronnie Van Zant, Allen Collins and myself started back in Jacksonville, would resonate for this long and to so many generations of fans,맥스카지노� guitarist Gary Rossington . 맥스카지노�I맥스카지노�m certain they are looking down from above, amazed that the music has touched so many.맥스카지노�
