Composer John Williams May Soon Retire
JOHN WILLIAMS is planning to retire from scoring films after he's done with "Indiana Jones 5".

"A Star Wars film demands six months of work, he said. “At this point in life [that] is a long commitment to me.”
John is not going to retire from music altogether . . . he's currently working on a piano concert album with pianist Emanuel Ax. John is only 90-YEARS-OLD by the way.
