In 2013, George Jones, the country music icon often referred to as the “the greatest living country singer†will mark the end of an era with a farewell tour for his fans titled “The Grand Tour”. After over fifty years of touring, Jones has decided he is ready to slow down and spend more time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Jones was quoted as saying “It is tough to stop doing what I love, but the time has come”. As a tribute to his loyal fans he wants to tour one more year and let them know, this will be his last.
