David Cassidy is wrapping up his 50-year career.
The 66-year-old entertainer says he will play his final West Coast concerts this month and plans to retire at year’s end.
Cassidy says in a statement on his website Wednesday that "traveling and my arthritis" have made performing around the country difficult in recent years.
The one-time "Partridge Family" heartthrob says, "This is not a complete ‘Good bye’ but I’m planning on working much less."

A spokeswoman for Cassidy says he will perform some East Coast dates next month as well.
