I don’t think I will still be singing on 21 January 2011, which is my 70th birthday.” So does this mean Plácido Domingo‘s farewell to the operatic stage is only half a year away?  UPDATE: Domingo’s publicist says this is “a quote from quite a while ago I believe. He has planned engagements well past his birthday.” [The Independent]
