Bette Midler Calling Her Entertainment Career Quits After Vegas Stint

Bette Midler, the 62 year old singer, actress and comdedian, has announced that she plans on retiring when her 30 month stint at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas comes to an end.

Midler told Parade Magazine when asked about retirement she said:

"I feel like I'm going out with a bang. It's something my husband and I have talked about. I certainly don't want to die in harness. I'm not one of those people."

But the 4 time Grammy winner says she can still perform with the best of them as she added:

“I think so. I must say, my high kick is just as high as it ever was, thanks to tai chi.”

Midler is rehearsing "The Showgirl Must Go On" which will debut at The Colosseum at Caesars on Feb. 20.
