Bob Seger, the Midwestern troubadour whose earnest, hardscrabble songs about the working man, lost love and “Old Time Rock and Roll” have been the soundtrack for millions of lives, is ready to turn the page…
The legendary singer-songwriter, known for such tunes as “Night Moves,” “Like a Rock,” “Roll Me Away” and, perhaps best of all, “Hollywood Nights,” has announced plans for one final tour with his mighty Silver Bullet Band.
The Travelin’ Man Tour kicks off on November 21 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The initial set of tour dates is listed below. Ticket information can be found at www.bobseger.com.
No Bay Area date has been announced as of yet. But local fans are certainly crossing their fingers in hopes that one soon will be, giving them the chance to see this Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in concert one more time.
No reason was given for why Seger is calling it quits. But he has undergone some medical issues.
Indeed, he was originally supposed to perform in 2017 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, but couldn’t make that date because he was under “doctor’s orders to attend to an urgent medical issue concerning his vertebrae,” according to a news release issued at the time.
“I’m so disappointed to have to suspend the tour as the band is on a great roll,” Seger was quoted as saying in the release. “It’s a privilege to play for our amazing fans. Hoping to be back out on the road very soon.”
