Turn the page: Bob Seger announces dates for his final tour
The 73-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer plans to hang it up after one final round of touring
Adam Graham
Bob Seger is saying goodbye to touring.
Dates for what is being billed as the Michigan rocker's final tour were announced by his team Tuesday morning. The 26-date outing includes tour dates that were shelved in 2017 due to a medical issue pertaining to Seger's vertebrae, as well as 10 newly announced concerts.
The trek will kick off on Nov. 21 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids and stretches through May 2 in Houston. Additional dates in Las Vegas, Fresno, San Diego, Vancouver and Florida will be announced "in the coming weeks," according to a tour release.
As it currently stands, Detroit is not a part of the tour itinerary.
Tickets for the Van Andel Arena concert go on sale Sept. 28, with members of Seger's fan club getting an early shot at tickets beginning Sept. 25.
Seger's shows in Cleveland, Louisville, Fort Wayne, Buffalo, Peoria, Dallas and Houston also go on sale Sept. 28, while Seger's Toledo and Nashville shows go on sale Sept. 29. The fan club pre-sale for all newly announced concerts begins Sept. 25.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, 73, played two Metro Detroit concerts at the start of his 2017 tour, a rollicking show at DTE Energy Music Theatre and the final concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Seger's most recent studio album, "I Knew You When," was released in November 2017.
"Heavy Music: The Complete Cameo Recordings 1966-1967," a compilation of Seger's early recordings with his band the Last Heard, was recently released by Jack White's Third Man Records.
