Elton John has announced that he will retire from touring at the conclusion of his coming 300-concert Farewell, Yellow Brick Road World Tour.
The iconic singer made the announcement in a live-streamed press conference Wednesday in New York hosted by CNN's Anderson Cooper. While John says he won't stop being creative and making new music, he says he's done with the rigorous travel and time away from his family.
"I once thought I would be like Ray Charles and B.B. King and tour forever," John said. "But when I stop, [my children] are going to be 10 and 8, which is a very important age...I don't want to miss them."
