Kenny Loggins' career has spanned decades, but life on the road as an artist isn't for everyone, so he's turning in his guitar and microphone after this one last time.
The "Danger Zone" announced the bittersweet news of his farewell tour, "This Is It," along with the reassurance to fans that he isn't actually retiring from making music.
"I don't see this as the end of my professional career, but certainly a halt to the grind of major touring," he clarified, comforting fans who were worried that he might be retiring for good.
However, since this will be his last tour, he wanted to make sure that everyone will have a great time enjoying his music and join him as he traverses his career through his music.
"I'll be playing songs that I feel sum up the emotional story of my music. This will include 90 percent of the hits and 10 or so percent of the deeper cuts."
In addition to the hint of what fans can expect to be included in the setlist, the singer noted that he will be inviting some of his friends to pay alongside him for the tour.
"We're hoping to have some of my longtime friends sit in whenever possible."

The 75-year-old singer started his music career in the '70s, when he was in his 20s, but has been musically inclined long before then.
Shortly after launching his career, Loggins jumped right into touring, he shared, "It's been an amazing journey since starting with Jimmy Messina in 1971, and I'm fortunate to have had such a long touring career."
With years and years of experience touring and his extensive discography, fans are surely in for a treat at the upcoming "This Is It Tour," which is slated to kick off in March.
According to reports, Loggins' 2023 schedule will be lined with shows and festival appearances.
The farewell tour's tickets will go on sale Jan. 20 at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
