After getting inducted<\/a> into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and with his 58th birthday just around the corner (March 26), some fans might be wondering if Kenny Chesney<\/a> plans to retire or slow down.<\/p>\n Chesney recently spoke to People<\/a><\/em> about about retirement and when he might call it quits. Thankfully, the country music legend with 30 No. 1 songs under his belt is still going strong.<\/p>\n “I love creating. That’s what I’ve always done, so I don’t see [slowing down] in my near future,” he told the publication.<\/p>\n Speaking on Taste of Country Nights<\/a><\/em> in a recent interview<\/a>, fellow country star\u00a0Lainey Wilson<\/a> told host Evan Paul that she had 2026 almost fully mapped out already. Chesney’s looking even farther ahead.<\/p>\n “My life is already so planned out. I know what I’m doing in 2027!” he told People<\/em>.<\/p>\n Plus, the musician feels most alive when\u00a0performing to a stadium crowd.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Kenny Chesney Recalls Losing His Hair as a Teen<\/a><\/span> With Chesney being single and having no kids, he really doesn’t have anything holding him back from playing shows until he’s\u00a0Willie Nelson<\/a>‘s age. (Nelson’s 92 as of writing, if you’re wondering.)<\/p>\n Yes! Chesney’s 2025 Vegas Sphere residency was so popular that he’s already signed up for more dates<\/a> in 2026, beginning next year in June.<\/p>\n Chesney credits his own mother for instilling that beachy vibe into the “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem” singer.<\/p>\n “You can give my mom credit on this one, too \u2014 I’ve always been a fan of feel-good music. We would go to the beach as a kid, and she loved beach music, and she just loved to feel good and loved to make other people feel good. So that’s always been infused in my thinking when I either listen to music or if I’m creating it,” he explained to People<\/em>.<\/p>\n What truly separates Chesney \u2014 a 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee \u2014 from other artists is his third act.
