The new news released today was pretty vague in details other than saying he'll release an album some point in 2013 - an album he has yet to begin recording - with some of the songs being written for him by fellow legend Dolly Parton, something she mentioned at her Gold Album party last week in Nashville.
Jones was quoted as saying "It is tough to stop doing what I love, but the time has come".
The tour and album are likely to be called "The Grand Tour," but unfortunately this is all we can report about his 'retirement tour' for now.
