"Age at memory issues” ang mga dahilan ng pagreretiro sa live concerts ng legendary American singer na si Johnny Mathis, na nakatakdang magdiwang ng ika-90 na kaarawan sa Setyembre 30, 2025.

Inanunsyo sa official website ni Mathis ang pagreretiro nito at pagbabalik ng bayad sa mga bumili ng tickets para sa natitirang four legs ng Voice of Romance Tour sa U.S.

Sa Nobyembre 8 pa sana ang pagwawakas ng final concert ni Mathis, pero napaaga dahil sa lumalalang kalagayan ng kalusugan niya.

Hanggang Mayo 18 na lamang ang kanyang pagtatanghal, at ikinalungkot ito ng mga tagahanga ng legendary singer.

Siya ang nagpasikat sa mga kantang "Misty, When A Child Is Born," "A Certain Smile," "Wonderful," Wonderful," "When I Am With You," "Chances Are" at "Love Story."

Nakasaad sa anunsyo sa official website ni Mathis:

"As many of you may already be aware, Johnny Mathis is approaching his 90th birthday this year.

"Additional updates will be posted as necessary.

"Johnny Mathis & his entire staff send their heartfelt gratitude to all Mathis Fans worldwide for your continued love & support of his music! It’s truly been 'Wonderful, Wonderful.'"
