Johnny Mathis to give final performance of his career

Johnny Mathis is set to give the final performance of his career at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, New Jersey.

This will bring an end to his iconic seven decade career that redefined the music industry for countless artists.

The singer, who is now 90 years old, initially announced his retirement from performances back in January.

The reason given for his retirement is his growing age and a struggle with memory issues.

The news was shared by his team on Facebook as they expressed their gratitude towards the fans for their support.

They wrote, “As many of you may already be aware, Johnny Mathis is approaching his 90th birthday this year. So, it’s with sincere regret that due to Mr Mathis’s age and memory issues which have accelerated, we are announcing his retirement from touring and live concerts.”

“Johnny Mathis and his entire staff send their heartfelt gratitude to all Mathis fans worldwide for your continued love and support of his music! It’s truly been ‘Wonderful, Wonderful’,” the statement continued.

Mathis was born in Gilmer, Texas, and initially rose to fame in the mid-1950s with his hit tracks Wonderful! Wonderful! and It's Not for Me to Say.
