Aretha's been on her retirement tour for like a year and a half. But I guess you can use sickness as an excuse why she's still touring for now. Anita had stopped performing for a good four or so years before this year. 2013 was supposed to be her comeback year since she successfully covered Tyrese's Lately and an album was supposed to go with it but it was canceled and she just decided not to record or perform again. So her decision might be industry related.
