ANNIE Lennox insists she is not retiring despite Eurythmics partner Dave Stewart saying she "won't be touring any more".

Stewart recently posted that Lennox would not be part of the Sweet Dreams 40th Anniversary Tour this autumn.

But the Aberdonian said: "I'm not retiring from anything, I'm just stepping back because I spent decades on the road.

"And at the age of 68, I'm very fortunate that I can do sort of one-off appearances now and then.

"When it comes to an actual tour where you have like 73-date commitments night after night and travelling on the road, it's incredibly intense. It's arduous."
