Annie Lennox Retires From Touring

Scottish recording artist Annie Lennox recently announced her tour retirement. On Friday, April 15, Lennox posted a message on Facebook thanking her fans for their support over the years. In the message, she had included that she will probably never tour again.

Lennox stated, "You've sent in the most lovely comments, and it's kind of thrilling to get replies from as far as Hawaii to Poland! I doubt that I'll ever tour again because quite honestly... it just wears me out mentally and physically, and my back and left foot are rubbish."

"In any case, I think I spent enough time waiting in cars, hotel rooms and dressing rooms... In the future performers will tour by hologram on a regular basis... love Annie."
Lennox finished.

Lennox was a former Eurythmics frontwoman and has been performing gigs since her career started in the late 1970s. As a solo artist, Lennox popularized classic hits like No More I Love Yous.



Lennox's music were also featured in films such as Francis Ford Coppolla's Bram Stoker's Dracula (Love Song for a Vampire) and Peter Jackson's The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King (Into The West.) Lennox won the Academy Award for Best Song in 2004 for Into The West.

In the recent years, Lennox has done and concentrated on her philanthropy work.
