Bob Seger Calls It Quits, Announces He Will No Longer Tour After A Half-Century In Rock & Roll
Bob Seger is retiring after nearly 50 years in rock n’ roll, Rolling Stone is reporting.
The rocker, now 73, plans to go on a farewell tour with his longtime back-up group, The Silver Bullet Band. Originally called the Runaway Train tour before Seger decided to hang up his guitar, the farewell tour — which will last into 2019 — has been re-branded The Travelin’ Man tour. The name refers to his hit 1975 song of the same name.
Although no specific reason was given for why the legendary rocker is deciding to retire at this time, it’s clear that age is catching up with him.
Last year, Seger underwent back surgery. And a few years prior to that, Seger admitted that it was difficult to live the life of a rock star and a septuagenarian at the same time.
