LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Jazz legend Al Jarreau has canceled all of his upcoming dates and announced that he's retiring from touring.
Jarreau, 77, was hospitalized recently in Los Angeles suffering from exhaustion but announced last night that on doctor's orders, he was withdrawing from his upcoming scheduled performances.
"Al Jarreau is in the hospital in Los Angeles, due to exhaustion. He is receiving excellent medical care, responding to treatments, and improving slowly. The medical team has instructed that he cannot perform any of his remaining 2017 concert dates. Therefore, with complete sorrow, Al Jarreau must retire from touring. He is thankful for his 50 years of traveling the world in ministry through music, and for everyone who shared this with him – his faithful audience, the dedicated musicians, and so many others who supported his effort.
