Soul music legend Aretha Franklin says she plans to retire from full-time touring after she releases a new album in September.
"I am retiring this year," the 74-year-old singer told a Detroit TV station in a telephone interview this week. "I will be recording, but this will be my last year in concert. This is it."
Known as the "Queen of Soul," Franklin said she planned about a six-month tour to support her upcoming album.
