Ronnie Milsap is the latest artist to decide that his time on the road is coming to an end.
Ronnie Milsap said in a statement via All Access Music Group: “You get to a place where you still have your health, but you know it’s not given. I’ve been blessed with so many great songs, so many wonderful memories and stories — and some of the very best fans in the business. Before I get to a place where it’s not a celebration of the music, I want to go out and play all these hits for the people who love them as much as I do.”
Milsap was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame earlier this year.
“Thanks to my family for being by me all the time and making all this so much fun,” Milsap said during his induction. “I love you all. Thank you so much for having me in the Country Music Hall of Fame. It’s a true honor.”
Milsap will do one final tour, titled “A Legend in My Time”, with the first dates set through April.
The tour actually kicked off last Saturday at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville with future dates starting December 5 and running into 2015.
