The New York-born 27-year-old singer-songwriter is calling it quits at the end of the year. She hasn't said if it's a permanent or temporary break, but she is giving fans around the world a chance to see her perform this week, maybe for the last time. Her final concerts _ both sold out _ take place Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010 and Thursday, Dec. 9 in Yokohama, near Tokyo. The Wednesday show will be simulcast at 64 movie theaters around Japan.
