Graham Nash dismisses talk that he might retire from music: “As long as my voice lasts, and so far it’s brilliant, I will be doing this into my 90s”
Graham Nash doesn’t plan to retire from music anytime soon, if ever, as he confirms that he’ll continue performing music for as long as he possibly can.
Nash, now in his eighties, is out on the road this October for his More Evenings of Songs and Stories tour across the UK and Europe. The shows do quite literally what is said on the tin – provide an evening of both music and the stories behind the songs that make up Nash’s long and successful career from across the decades.

In a new interview, Nash says he’s not planning to step down from the stage, just as long as he can keep attendees at his gigs happy. He tells Devon Live, “I just want the audience to be completely satisfied. The truth is, as long as my voice lasts, and so far it’s brilliant, I will be doing this into my 90s. There are a lot of people that want to hear it.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Nash also confirms that he’s recently been working his way through forgotten material, including unreleased Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young songs: “I’ve been involved in a lot of the stuff that me and David, Stephen, and Neil made that has never been heard before.”
According to the outlet, he’s been working on this material with Joel Bernstein, a guitar tech who’s worked for Neil Young and Prince. Nash adds, “He and I are putting together 33 songs of Crosby, Stills & Nash that have never been heard. I’ll maybe do them on the tour between those six or seven songs I know people want to hear.”
Tickets are still available for Graham Nash’s Songs and Stories tour – find out more via his official website.
