George Michael has revealed that he is giving up touring because he feels too old to perform pop music.
Speaking to the BBC, Michael explained why he called time on his touring career: "Mainly the reason is because I'm 45 and I think pop music should be about youth culture. It shouldn't be an endurance test."
The ex-Wham! star recently announced that the final two shows in his 25 Live Tour, taking place at Earls Court on August 24 and 25, will be his last.
Michael added that ending his live shows doesn't mean he was retiring, just looking for "a quieter life".
"If I can just live further from the spotlight I think that'll be better for all really," he said.
