R&B singer Aaron Neville says he's retiring from touring
Fox News
The coronavirus is of great concern to Neville, whose old age and asthma make him especially at risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19.
Now 80, Neville said embarking on multi-date tours is no longer appealing. "The time has come for me to stop ripping and running on the road," Neville wrote. "I waited for someone to invent a way to beam me from show to show but no such luck. ... Unfortunately, the grueling nature of travel and the schedule needed to make a tour work has become less than desirable. The current climate of our world brought me many realizations. Life is short and I’d like to spend my remaining time on this earth being less hurried." Still, Neville said his love for singing has not waned.More Related News
