Barbra Streisand Says She’s Done With Touring

Barbara Streisand says that she is done with touring, admitting that it’s just too hard for her at this point in her life. “I can’t,” she tells Billboard. “It’s just too vulnerable. It’s too hard for me. I wish I loved it. There are so many performers who perform practically the whole year, you know, 200 or 300 days a year. They love it. And I wish I felt that way.”More »

Barbara Streisand says that she is done with touring, admitting that it’s just too hard for her at this point in her life. “I can’t,” she tells Billboard. “It’s just too vulnerable. It’s too hard for me. I wish I loved it. There are so many performers who perform practically the whole year, you know, 200 or 300 days a year. They love it. And I wish I felt that way. It would be great because it’s very lucrative but I can’t do it. It’s just too hard. I think about what I eat after the show. You know, I plan the meals after the show so I could be free of anxiety.” “I actually did this last tour for a painting. There was a painting I wanted and it was expensive. I’m a big fan of (Amedeo) Modigliani. There was a painting I wanted that I really had a save up for it. . . . I lent it to the Tate Museum in London. I can’t work for money. I have to work for an object that I love, something I want to live with. . . . What does money do? It goes somewhere, a stock, a bond. I don’t see it. But a painting I can look at every day and enjoy.” While she was quick to put touring behind her, she does admit that she never says never. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
