All the musicians who are retiring from touring in 2018
Paul Simon, Elton John and Aretha Franklin are among those who have announced their retirements this year
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: 바카라 게임 웹사이트Showbiz doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t hold any interest for me.바카라 게임 웹사이트 But it wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t until February 5 that he confirmed it.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I바카라 게임 웹사이트ve often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I바카라 게임 웹사이트d consider bringing my performing career to a natural end,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Simon wrote in . 바카라 게임 웹사이트Now I know: it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating, and something of a relief.바카라 게임 웹사이트 He explained that the time away from his family was taking a toll, but that he hoped to do 바카라 게임 웹사이트the 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.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Simon바카라 게임 웹사이트s 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 isn바카라 게임 웹사이트t effective immediately—he바카라 게임 웹사이트s embarking on a three-year, 300-gig tour beginning in September of 2018, by which point it바카라 게임 웹사이트s fair to say he will have earned a break.
바카라 게임 웹사이트By the time the tour finishes I바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be 74, and there바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be so much more for me to do creatively, but it won바카라 게임 웹사이트t be touring,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트David [his husband] and I sat down with a school schedule, and I thought, I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want to miss too much of this… When I stop, they바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to be 10 and 8, and that바카라 게임 웹사이트s a very important time of their lives. I see them a lot anyway. But I love them so much. I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want to miss them and I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want them to miss me.바카라 게임 웹사이트
But John is not retiring from making records—he expects to make 바카라 게임 웹사이트a couple more albums바카라 게임 웹사이트—and didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t rule out future concert performances. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I would imagine it would be something like a residency, like Kate Bush did at the Hammersmith Apollo; she did three weeks. I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t want to travel."
