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.
