Sonny Rollins is 88! Is he still playing out?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 31 March 2019 14:49 (five years ago) link
No, Rollins retired - respiratory issues; he can't play anymore.

Tony Bennett's still performing at 92, Burt Bacharach is 91 in a few weeks. Neither particularly rocking mind.

Ian Hunter will be 80 this summer, and still tours regularly. He looked pretty good the other night at the HoF induction finale.

if Keith ended up outliving Mick, that would be a miracle (and a strong case for not giving a f about living a reasonable/healthy life !)
I like how in his book, Kieth kept coming back to how part of how he was able to stay fucked-up for so long is that more often than not he had access to the best stuff--pharmaceutical coke, fairly pure heroin--and if he had been using more inferior stuff he'd probably be dead like so many others.

Jerry Lee Lewis is 83.
After his recent stroke, I'm wondering if Jerry is done performing, kinda think so.
I'm putting in my 2 cents for Big Jay McNeely, who at 81 was blowing sax and performing with the energy of a man half his age (or less) when I last saw him.

Yeah, I've read that he's having a heart op as well, which makes me wonder how Jagger is going to play this. This could very well end up being their last tour after all. Don't forget that David Bowie was much, much younger than Jagger when he had heart problems and he as good as retired from live performance afterwards, only coming back for those last two records after a lengthy break. If he does throw himself back into touring after recovering from his op, then fair enough, but personally I think the guy should be resting up now. He's got enough money, he's done enough for music.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 2 April 2019 00:47 (five years ago) link
And, unlike Bowie -- unless stories emerge after his death -- Jagger's eliminated drink + drugs from his diet for at least thirty years.

tons of ppl have trouble retiring, my sister's father in law is about Mick's age and is really having trouble letting go of his house painting business and letting his grandson take over...I don't think that changes just because of money, he doesn't need to work any more than Jagger does, but I think to him it's like who am I now?

I didn't go, but I know a buncha other people who saw the tour opener last night and said it was great, and that Mick looked as healthy as can be. Apparently they only played 2 hours to the minute, which does indeed take some, er, stones, but hey. I guess people left pretty happy. God knows when I'm in my 70s I wouldn't want to stand around for much longer than that, either.

I also heard it was a good show.
― Consider the coconut (morrisp), Sunday, 23 June 2019 02:23 (five years ago) link
I think they've been doing the two-hour shows for awhile now. They share setlist pics on social media, revealing 18-21 songs per show, including a 2-song encore.
