Dolly Parton retires from touring
28.10.2022 - 14:24 / completemusicupdate.com
Dolly Parton has announced that she has retired from full-on touring, saying that she wants to spend more time with her husband as they get older.“I do not think I will ever tour again, but I do know I’ll do special shows here and there, now and then”, she tells Pollstar. “Maybe do a long weekend of shows, or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.
I’ve done that my whole life, and it takes so much time and energy”.“I like to stay a little closer to home with my husband”, she goes on. “We’re getting older now, and I don’t want to be gone for four or five weeks at a time. Something could happen.
I would not feel right about that, if I were gone and somebody needed me. Or I would feel bad if I had to leave a tour if somebody got sick at home and needed me and then I had to walk out on the fans”.She added that she feels that there are other ways beyond touring to stay connected to fans these days, saying: “I don’t ever feel separated from my fans because in this high-tech world, you can be right with them. You can do special shows in special ways.
I will be doing some of that. But you’ve got to work for weeks to work up a great new show, a new tour they haven’t seen”.“It takes months to actually plan a tour, as far as booking dates and all that”, she continues. “Then you’ve got to be gone for all that time, too.
It’s more involved than people have any idea. You really need a year, and certainly six months, to plan a great tour, just preparing to get ready to go hit the road. So you can’t just go out and do a few shows, you really have to commit to doing enough shows to make all that time and effort pay off”.As for her favourite show of her career, she picked Glastonbury

Legendary New York Concert Promoter Ron Delsener Announces His Retirement; There Will Never Be Another
Peter Shapiro I’ve known the name Ron Delsener for as long as I can remember. Growing up in New York, I listened to a lot of radio — especially Q104.3 — and you’d hear ads for concerts at Madison Square Garden and Giants Stadium (pre-MetLife) brought to you by “Ron Delsener Presents.” Then you’d see his name on the ticket stub. As I was graduating college, and thinking about a career in music, he was a god in my world. Now 86 years old, Ron announced his retirement last week. He marked the occasion backstage at a show, of course. I got to witness Jeff Beck’s enormous smile as Ronnie came down steps of the Capitol Theater and turned the corner. A few nights later, I saw Ron at the Beacon Theatre for the B-52s. That pace he has, that endurance and passion, I don’t think that’ll ever end.
