Apparently Bob Seger isn't quite ready to stop doing concerts.

Although his last couple tours have widely been considered to be "this may be the last one," the Ann Arbor-bred rock star Thursday announced a new spring tour with his Silver Bullet Band that will take him to Toledo (Feb. 27) and Grand Rapids (March 5), the closest announced dates to this area. A tour press release promises "More dates to be announced soon."

A fall 2011 tour brought Seger's long-awaited return to Washtenaw County with a successful show at the Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center.

Born in Detroit, Seger grew up in Ann Arbor and graduated from Ann Arbor (now Pioneer) High School before becoming an album-rock superstar. He now lives in Oakland County.

Tickets for the first dates of the tour go on sale Jan. 19, but early access is promised to fan club members; see www.bobseger.com for more information.
