Al Jarreau in hospital. Forced to retire, and 2017 tour dates are cancelled.

father time is undefeated. And performers live to perform. It is a terrible Injustice but one weekend Escape. Al Jarreau is a legend, but and old age he can't quite do it as you once did.

Hopefully, he can return to touring with minimal dates and doesn't have to retire completely. Because if he did, it is likely he would not last long after that. When people get old and have nothing to live for, sadly they often don't.

Get well, Al
They said when Maurice White had to leave E,W, & F, it took a toll. He lasted for a minute, but his health took a big hit. Sometimes you just can't do it, love or not.
 
Saw him in Cincy about 9 years ago; one of the best shows I've ever been to; dude is a beast live. Best to him.
 
One of my favorite singers ever!

One of my favorite concerts during the 80s was seeing Jarreau at Pier 84 in NYC. He and his band kicked ASS!

A lot of record reviewers have said exactly that...That he sounds like an Al clone. They also were saying they preferred Al (agreed).

The first time I heard Kem (Love Calls), I could hear he was ripping Al.
