Don McLean announces his final UK and Ireland tour, with a farewell performance scheduled in Glasgow next spring. The Glasgow Times reports the show opens the final run of dates in the city, marking what it describes as his last-ever concert there.

The Independent adds that the tour is billed as “The Farewell Tour” and begins in May next year. It reports McLean, who is 80, will play eight dates across the UK and Ireland as part of the tour. The outlets broadly agree on the timing and purpose of the tour—both present it as McLean’s concluding appearances in the region—while the Glasgow Times focuses specifically on Glasgow as the first stop.
