Mick at 80

Unlike me, he still has his hair
And at 80, you wouldn't expect a rock lead singer (tenor) to still be able to hit the notes. Of course, Mick is no Steve Perry...
But yeah, quite a show for an octogenarian.
A few years ago I watched a mini documentary about the diet and exercise regimen he keeps to maintain the energy required to keep putting on shows like he does. I was impressed, he is not taking his fame for granted, he is dedicated to putting on a good performance for his fans. Much of his act is physical, with all that strutting, pouting, and jumping he does. That is his identity, and he knows that energy is what fans want to see.

probably doesnt involve bourbon and beer,
If I recall correctly, he drinks very little, and perhaps none at all
That is why I'm glad I have no talent.
I would hate to have to give up drinking.
Especially since that's my talent.
I saw the Stones first 'Farewell tour' in '82 or '83 in Boulder when they were supposedly hanging it up and no longer performing live shows and touring.
40+ years ago.
Dude’s gonna have a coronary
Great to see, and inspirational. I just turned 70. i am even more impressed by the rock stars that are belting out tunes for the public in their 60s and 70’s That have flawless voices. There are more out there than you know. I saw Kenny Loggins live in concert in town 4-5 years ago, and his range had not changed a bit, and his vocal quality was flawless. 2 of my friends are rock legends at age 69 and 65, and they still have incredible range and quality, and are currently on tour as the “Voices of Rock Radio.”
especially since every current singer today lip syncs, soon real live music will be a thing of the past. nothing like going to a concert and the most important thing to a performer is not playing music, but running around on stage like a idiot.
I know John Elefante (formerly with Kansas), Kevin Chalfant (sang lead for a time with Journey) and John Schlitt (lead singer for Petra) sing live today.
