Bebo Norman
Apr 7, 2013

Bebo Norman has announced that as of the end of 2013, he will officially retire from music. According to Bebo, this announcement and decision comes after much prayer.
"For those closest to me, this really has been a decision that was years in the making, but after a lot of prayer and continued conversation, my wife Roshare and I made the final call back in December," shares Bebo. "And honestly I wasn't sure if I would be done right away, or what the exact timetable would be, but ultimately I decided that I really wanted to honor my label and publishing commitments through 2013 and tour this new record (Lights of Distant Cities) for at least a year from release just to make sure I "finish well." The reality for me is that I don't have any one specific calling moving forward - I feel pulled in quite a few different directions, but none of them are music-related. I don't know that I really feel called to something else as much as I feel called awayfrom music. I'm still not even certain how I got here, how I landed on this particular course as an artist, but I do know that it wouldn't have happened without the willingness of people all over the world to be a part of this with me. I will be forever grateful."
Bebo will be releasing his final radio single, "Sing of Your Glory", going for adds on April 19. He will also be touring through the summer and fall with his friends Andrew Peterson and Sara Groves.
