Bushido ended music career
Rapper Bushido has a "good and a bad news" for his fans: In January 2026, he will perform live again. However, it means saying goodbye after that. Forever.
He has a "big announcement" to make, Bushido announces in his current Instagram story. The good news for his fans is: "In January 2026, we're going on tour again." The pre-sale has already started on July 18, so his fans should mark this date in their calendars. Especially since the January concerts will be the last chance to see Bushido live.
However, this is also the already threatened bad news: "This will be the last tour. And not just the last tour, it will be my official retirement!" There will be "no more music, no more shows, probably also no more interviews", as the rap star puts it. "I'm stepping back."
Time, to say goodbye
Bushido thanks his fans in his story for a "wonderful time": "Over a quarter of a century! 2026 will be 28 years of career. I think now it's simply time to say goodbye." This time, his retirement will also be "truly official". "Before, we've just been playing around with the idea", he admits.
In fact, Bushido had already hinted at the announcement of his "King for life!" tour, which took him through nine cities this year, that it might be his last tour. It is a fitting farewell frame to bid farewell to his fans.
In January 2026, he now intends to make it serious and "28 years Legacy" officially come to an end: "No more songs, no more albums. None!"
Bushido's Instagram announcement further elaborates on his retirement, stating, "Beyond music and shows, this means no more interviews or appearances on platforms like Instagram." His love for his fans is evident as he expresses, "I want to thank you all for a wonderful 28-year journey in entertainment, from 'King for life!' tours to Bushido's music."
