Early next year, Daniel will host his annual Opry le Daniel shows on TG4
Daniel O'Donnell has decided to take an extended break from touring, driven by the health challenges he has faced over the past few years.
The legendary singer-songwriter from Kincasslagh has said that this is not retirement, just a break.
"This decision was not made lightly, but it is driven by the health challenges he has faced over the past few years, particularly with allergies and recurrent chest infections while touring extensively," his official page posted.
"Daniel will continue his touring commitments until December 2025, but he has realised that he needs to step back and focus on his health and well-being. This pause is essential for him to recharge and recover. He emphasises that "this is not a retirement but rather a temporary break".
