Anita Baker wrote that retirement was one of her “goals/dreams.”
Legendary singer Anita Baker apparently will no longer be giving fans the best that she’s got.
Among a series of tweets she posted on Jan. 12, the eight-time Grammy winner used the hashtag #retired and dismissed rumors of a comeback tour and CD while noting that retirement was among her dreams.
Lotta rumours out there. No Tour. No CD. #Retired🎁 #BeachBum❤ #ThankUJesus😆 pic.twitter.com/Lkmz5rXiPd

Two days later, Baker wrote on Twitter that she had no regrets, posting a photo of an awards shelf that presumably includes her Grammys.

Baker was nominated for her 16th Grammy Award in 2012 for her hit version of “Lately.” Her label, Blue Note Records, said the song was to be on her album “Only Forever,” which was due out in 2013. The album was never released.
If Baker is resolute about hanging it up (we’ve reached out to her and a label rep for comment), it would mark the end of a remarkable career.
