Check out Little Feat\u2019s full list of tour dates below.<\/p>\n \u201cPlaying is the joy and satisfaction of touring, but it comes with the hard part\u2014travel, the endless miles on a bus,\u201d Little Feat shared in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely not an absolute, never-gonna-play again statement.\u00a0 This\u00a0wind-down will take several years to accomplish, and while it does, Feat will continue to perform and record as long as they are able. It\u2019s a retirement from the travel of touring.\u201d<\/p>\n The Last Farewell Tour\u2019s lineup will feature founding keyboardist Bill Payne alongside guitarists Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard, bassist Kenny Gradney, percussionist Sam Clayton, and drummer Tony Leone.
