Tony is as of now 95 years of age and has been battling Alzheimer’s Disease since 2016. His son told Variety that it was a hard decision for them to make, as he is a capable performer.
“This is, however, doctors’ orders. His continued health is the most important part of this, and when we heard the doctors,” when Tony’s wife, Susan heard them, she said, “Absolutely not. He’ll be doing other things, but not those upcoming shows.”
Danny is also his father’s manager for than 40 years. He explained that he problem for Tony is not the singing aspect of live performances, but the travel, as his son adds, “Look, he gets tired. The decision is being made that doing concerts now is just too much for him. We don’t want him to fall on stage, for instance. Something as simple as that.”
