Veteran pop music crooner Johnny Mathis is calling it quits. The 89-year-old Grammy Award winner —  known for golden oldies such as “Chances Are,” “It’s Not for Me to Say” and the 1978 chart-topper “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late” — will be retiring from the road this summer due to his elderly age and declining memory. Reps for Mathis announced Wednesday that all “concerts from June 2025 onwards are now canceled.” He’ll continue performing dates of his ongoing Voice of Romance Tour this spring, with his final concert set to take place on May 18 at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J. “As many of you may already be aware, Johnny Mathis is approaching his 90th birthday this year,” read a statement posted on Facebook. “So, it’s with sincere regret that due to Mr. Mathis’ age and memory issues which have accelerated, we are announcing his retirement from touring and live concerts.” Refunds for the canceled dates will be “made through the original point of purchase,” per the singer’s team. While Mathis’ memory issues have not impacted his “day-to-day” life, the demanding travel schedule has “taken a toll on his body,” his rep Robert Scott told USA Today. “He knows deep down that it’s time to call it a day,” Scott said. “He’s performed 69 consecutive years now without ever missing a beat.” A native of Gilmer, Texas, Mathis came of age in San Francisco and was approaching 21 when his self-titled debut album was released in 1956. The crooner has since put out more than 70 albums over the course of his seven-decade career. His latest album of new recordings, 2017’s “Johnny Mathis Sings the Great New American Songbook,” features his take on more recent pop hits popularized by Adele, Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars. ...read more read less
