In a recent interview, folk legend David Crosby revealed that he has officially retired from going out on the road. His last show took place in late 2019.
“I’m too old to do it anymore,” he admitted. “I’m too old to do it anymore. I don’t have the stamina. I don’t have the strength.”
The musician explained his decision to bow out of the practice is “because I’m old. Being on a bus tour is a daunting task. It’s very hard. It takes it out of you.”
In 2021, Crosby seemed to be heading in this direction.
“COVID stole my last functioning year,” he explained in an interview last year, lamenting three live shows he had scheduled for the summer before falling ill. “I lost all three of those tours and I don’t think I can do another bus tour. Never say never: Maybe I could do residencies if they paid me enough. But I think it’s entirely possible that I may not get to play anymore.”
