Tyler Perry one of the hardest working men in showbiz, is tired and wants a time out. Perry wrote a letter on his website explaining why he needs a vacation:

“I don’t know if you remember this or not, but around 2005 I took off from touring my Madea plays for about 5 years. During that time, I was working mostly on movies and TV shows. Well, as much as I love to be out on stage and doing a live Madea show, the time has come again for me to take a long break from the stage. I have some major projects that I’m working on that will require a lot of my time and effort. Just know that I did not want to stop this tour until I had hit as many cities as possible. So I’m going to finish out this Fall leg of the tour and then take a long break.”

We are not mad at ya Tyler, everyone needs some downtime!

“Madea Gets a Job” will start the last leg of the tour on September 20th and end just before Thanksgiving 2012.
