Jeff Allen: My First Annual Final Farewell Tour
Jeff Allen may (or may not) want to admit it, but he’s getting old. At 69, Jeff is staring down his 70th year and decided it might be time to think about slowing down. The result? My First Final Farewell Tour kicks off March 1, 2026. Yes, you read that right—“First” and “Final” in the same sentence—because Jeff’s not totally sure he’s done. (After all, Cher had 20 farewell tours, and Elton John is still out there.)
