He told the outlet that he stuck to his 100 acres during the pandemic and spent time building a green house and chook pen.
“I came from the dirt and now I’m back on it,” the Drover’s Boy hitmaker said of his country lifestyle.
The land, he says, ‘keeps me alive and creating. Once I walk away and go onstage, I’m like, ‘Oh, this is what I do. But it’s getting harder and harder for me to leave the house.
The 77-year-old music legend has been talking about retiring for the past two years.
Williamson, who has reportedly sold 4 million albums in Australia alone, has repeatedly spoken of hanging up his guitar for good since 2021.
The three-time ARIA winner for Best Country Album said he is preparing for retirement and is now prepared to do less.
