George Clinton has announced that he is pushing back his retirement and extending his farewell tour with Parliament Funkadelic into 2020.
Clinton had announced his retirement from P-Funk in May of 2018, saying that he would step away from the group in 2019. "It's never really been about me. It's always been about the music and the band," he explained at the time.
Now, the godfather of funk has decided to keep providing that music for fans who are clamoring to see him. "I'm feeling good and the band is at it's best - there are just too many fans and too many cities that we were not able to funk this year and we can't leave them hanging like that," Clinton said via press release. "So I guess considering all things, what I am saying is, for now, fuck retirement!"
Clinton has confirmed a number of date for 2020, with many in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Check out his announced 2020 tour dates below, and for more information, visit georgeclinton.com.
