Frankie Beverly Reveals Farewell Tour After Announcing His Retirement: “I Want To Share With My Lifelong Fans And Associates That I’ll Be Going Out On The Road One Last Time”

Frankie Beverly has announced his retirement and revealed the schedule for his farewell tour, titled “I Wanna Thank You.”

The five-city tour begins in Atlanta on March 22, featuring El DeBarge and Chaka Khan as special guests. It’s not yet confirmed whether they’ll join Beverly and his crew in other cities. The tour will then visit Alabama, Chicago, and Houston before concluding in Los Angeles on May 12.

Plans for an afterparty following the Atlanta concert are underway, with details to be announced soon. Following the conclusion of the tour, Beverly will travel to Philadelphia for a street renaming ceremony. This event holds special significance as Philadelphia is where he and his Maze band, initially known as Raw Soul, began their musical journey in 1970, establishing their enduring legacy.
