HuffPost
The man who sang hits like "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree" has scheduled his last show for Uncasville, Connecticut.
Singer Tony Orlando will perform his last concert next week, but the veteran entertainer insists he’s not retiring.
The man who sang hits like 1973′s “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree” and 1970′s “Knock Three Times” in the trio Tony Orlando & Dawn, was scheduled to perform Friday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and will have a final concert March 22 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
But anyone expecting Orlando to shuffle off to a shuffleboard court are sadly mistaken.
“I’m not retiring from show business,” Orlando, who turns 80 on April 4, told HuffPost. “I’ve reinvented myself many times, and now I want to flex my creative muscles writing.”
Orlando said he’s working on screenplays and a novel, adding, “I even wrote a Broadway show.”
