Back in June, we told you that Dave Mason was forced to cancel his US tour due to health issues. Yesterday, the musician/songwriter announced officially that he was retiring from touring altogether, citing his declining health.
The 79-year old burst onto the music scene as a co-founder for the legendary band Traffic in the late 60s, before launching a successful solo career.
He also loaned his talents to some of the most famous names in rock history, including Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Graham Nash, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton and many others.
