In the following Rip It Up Magazine interview, Tori announces that the American Doll Posse world tour is her last:

TORI AMOS
A SORTA FAIRYTALE ENDING
by Scott McLennan

Tori Amos is tired.  Sitting backstage at Global Studios in Melbourne prior to her Rove Live appearance, the Cornwall-based musician is contemplating the possibility that her current world tour in support of her ninth studio album American Doll Posse could be her last. 

"I've been touring for so many years that I just don't know if it's still going to happen," she begins.  "I've been touring almost every other year since 1991.  You know when you watch people go back to the Olympics and they can't really run anymore and you think, 'Why didn't you make another decision?'.  While the shows are powerful I think that's a good way to leave people for a while."

It's a remarkable revelation.  A child prodigy accepted at Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory Of Music's at the age of five, Tori Amos has been performing live for more than 30 years.  Whether winning talent contests in the 1970s, playing with Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum in shortlived 1980s rock act Y Kant Tori Read or earning global acclaim in the 1990s via breakthrough solo debut Little Earthquakes and its stunning follow-up Under The Pink, live performance has been a pivotal piece of Tori's musical puzzle.  The current tour finds her alternating performances between the five divergent personalities found performing on American Doll Posse – the sexy Santa, the waifish Clyde, the political Isabel, the confrontational Pip and Tori herself.  So have any of the Posse been more prominent in live shows?  ( continued... )

ynet news is reporting that Tori will perform at the Ra'anana Amphitheater in Tel Aviv July 21.  The date hasn't been confirmed by any of Tori's official sources. 

If true, this would be Tori's second appearance in Israel.  Tori played the Susan Dalal Auditorium in Tel Aviv during her Little Earthquakes tour in 1992.

The American Doll Posse reviews are in and the word is "Masterpiece." At least so says the Orange County Register.  "Never trust a Toriphile: She'll tell you they're all masterpieces," writes reviewer Ben Wener, "Trust a Tori admirer who has kept up from the start and trudged through the less-inspired patches: This is as great as she's ever been."

"Brilliant" is the word the Boston Globe chose.  "If freedom from oppression is the guiding principle, Amos demonstrates her winning strategy in the most fundamental musical terms: She's a heavy rocker, ruminative poet, winsome popster, and mystical enchantress," writes Globe reviewer Joan Anderman.  "American Doll Posse is a lush sprawl of an album that works with or without the feminist playbook."

Synthesis Magazine interviewed Tori in April 07 about American Doll Posse.  You can hear Tori talk about the recording process and leaving the singer songwriter behind on ADP, and the continuing development of the Posse.
