Before going out on stage, John was a little nervous after not performing for two years.

“I think it feels strange for everybody who’s a performer,” John told CBS. “I’ve been to a couple of shows, and the audience goes nuts. So I’m looking forward to it from that point of view and I hope I’m not too rusty, that’s it.”

John also shared that he is excited for retirement and ready for a change.

“I want to be with my family. I mean, I’ve been touring since I was 17 in the back of a van. I’ve had the most incredible life. I’ve been so lucky, and I’ve loved every single minute of it. But I’ve had enough of that applause, and I really want … I’ll be 76 years of age when I stop touring in 2023. I want to do something different with the rest of my life.”

John will tour more than 40 arena dates in North America through April 2022 before leaving for Europe for a little while. He will return to North America for his final bow from July 15 through November 20, 2022.
