That’s when we learned that the legend Charlie Robison would be forced to retire due to a medical procedure forcing him to no longer sing.
Hey amigos, Charlie here. I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where I’ve been. Well, at the beginning of this year I underwent a surgical procedure that because of complications left me with the permanent inability to sing. Therefore,with a very heavy heart I am officially retiring from the the stage and studio. Gonna keep it short but just wanted y’all to hear it from me. It’s been an amazing ride and I cannot tell you all what the last 25 years has meant to me. I was looking forward to another 25 but as they say “shit happens”. I thank you all for everything you’ve given me and I hope I was able to give you a fraction of the happiness you gave me. It was a hell of a ride but as they say all good things must end. Keep on supporting this thing we call Texas/Red dirt and hopefully we’ll all get to have a cocktail or two and talk about the good ol days. Until then,Buenos Noches. It’s been fun. Love each and every one of y’all.
But now four years later some lucky folks got to see ole Charlie perform a little acoustic show for what we know as the first public one in four years.
I honestly didn’t have Charlie Robison temporarily (one night only) coming out of retirement on my 2022 bingo card. I’d put his first album (life of the party) up against any of the old school Texas guys. So many great songs. pic.twitter.com/45zwaafqRu
