DONEGAL singer Daniel O’Donnell has revealed that he will be taking an extended break from touring.
After much reflection, the decision was driven by recent health challenges the star has faced over the past few years.
“This decision was not made lightly,” a spokesperson began.
“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.
“He has realised that he needs to step back and focus on his health and well-being.”
In the meantime, Daniel will continue his touring commitments until December 2025.
“This pause is essential for him to recharge and recover,” a spokesperson continued.
“He emphasises that “this is not a retirement but rather a temporary break”.”
Early next year, Daniel will host his annual Opry le Daniel shows on TG4.
Additionally, in September 2026, he will perform as he has for many years on Gertrude Byrne’s Mediterranean Cruise.
“These will be his only confirmed performances for the year,” a spokesperson concluded.
