After 50-Year Career, David Cassidy to Retire at Year End

"This is not a complete 'Good bye' but I'm planning on working much less," he said

David Cassidy is wrapping up his 50-year career.

The 66-year-old entertainer said he will play his final West Coast concerts this month and plans to retire at year's end.

Keanu Reeves, Judd Apatow and host Jimmy Fallon perform stand-up jokes elementary school kids submitted to “The Tonight Show.”

Cassidy said in a statement on his website Wednesday that "traveling and my arthritis" have made performing around the country difficult in recent years.

The one-time "Partridge Family" heartthrob said, "This is not a complete 'Good bye' but I'm planning on working much less."

A spokeswoman for Cassidy said he will perform some East Coast dates next month as well.
