Chaka Khan has said she “will not do another tour” because “I got this rich-ass life.”Khan said in an interview with Rolling Stone that she wasn’t planning on completely retiring from performing live, but intends on stopping touring.Elaborating on her decision, Khan said she now had more going on in her life than just music. “Some people, that’s all they have, you know?

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. I’ll do dates, but it won’t look like a tour.

They’ll be far enough apart that I can have time to sleep in between.”When asked if she’d ever retire entirely, she said: “Well, I might do that three or four times, like other bitches do.”Khan was also asked about her legacy, which she said she was fairly unbothered about. “I don’t really care,” she explained. “I would hope that some of my shit has some longevity, but if it doesn’t, that’ll be because hopefully somebody better has come along.

I just hope that the art form doesn’t get so screwed up with stupid shit — kids today think that every instrument can be played on a keyboard.
