Why cowboy king is retiring after seven-concert tour
-
Cowboy king George Strait is doing one final tour before hanging up his guns — and calling it quits on a historic career.
Now GLOBE has the intimate inside story behind his brave farewell — and how country music’s all-time hit maker has struggled against tragedy, pain and losing his golden voice.
“George says it’s time,” spills a pal.
“He grabbed for the brass ring and got it, but there’s been a lot of heartache along the way as well. He’d rather leave his fans with great memories and live out his days out of the public eye.”
This story is from the January 21, 2019 edition of Globe.
