Chaka Khan Says She’s Retiring From Touring: ‘Some People, That’s All They Have’

Funk icon Chaka Khan isn't planning a tour anytime soon.

The "Ain't Nobody" singer spoke about her dislike of touring in a new interview with Rolling Stone.

"Some people, that’s all they have, you know?" said Khan. "I got this rich-ass life. I’ve got great-grandchildren I want to get to know better. So I will not do another tour."

She will still perform, "but it won’t look like a tour. They’ll be far enough apart that I can have time to sleep in between," said Khan.

Her experience with touring was "lonely," the 70-year-old shared. "Riding on a bus, pissing in a little bathroom, waking up in the morning and you’re five hours from your hotel where you can take a proper bath or shower and go to bed like a normal human being. And then you got a gig that night."

"That’s friggin' insane,” she recalled. "It was just insanity. It’s like being a truck driver and a performer. It’s lonely as all get-out."

Khan's not announcing a retirement just yet, and she could still change her mind about touring. "Well, I might do that three or four times, like other bitches do," Khan joked.

In November, Khan performed at the 38th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where she was given a Musical Excellence Award. Kate Bush, Missy Elliott, Rage Against the Machine, Sheryl Crow, George Michael, Willie Nelson and the Spinners were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
