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."

He is set to perform in Las Vegas in Feb. 17 and in Southern California shows on Feb. 18 and Feb. 19.

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