He ends his tour, Voice of Romance, on May 18 in Englewood, NJ due to age and memory issues.  His reviews for this tour have been very good.........one of the reviews stated:  "Mathis' performance “the most beautifully romantic concert in a theater in recent memory.” 

I have enjoyed Johnny Mathis since I first heard "Chances Are", I've been fortunate enough to be able to attend several of his live performances and have been overwhelmed by his performance, professionalism, kindness and voice.  He, just, sings, no jokes, no pitter patter, just wonderful songs and a lovely romantic voice.

A true gentleman.

Well deserved retirement, he has such a beautiful voice.

@rockygems123 It was immediately corrected, probably as you were typing.  Thank you.

I do love his voice, he deserves to rest.  I was trying for the life of me to figure out what C mean't.

A statement posted to Facebook reads: “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.”

I didn't realize he was still performing---at 89? Wow what a guy!! One of my very favorites, I remember hearing him when I was a kid--love him and Nat King Cole and Tony Bennet.
