Singer Daniel O’Donnell has announced an extended break from touring due to ‘health challenges.’
The Donegal native has confirmed he will take a break from touring due to the health challenges he has faced over the past few years.
The 63-year-old will continue his commitments until December 2025.
He has insisted 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 for the singer told his fans, “After much reflection, Daniel has decided to take an extended break from touring.
“This decision was not made lightly, but 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.

“This pause is essential for him to recharge and recover.”
