Saw my favorite band Rush on their R40 Tour in May 2015.
All three are in their mid sixties and sounded as good as ever. Freeking awesome.
Sadly they say physical aliments will probably keep them from touring again.
Neil Peart said if he can’t remain the best drummer he does not want to play in concert, or words to that effect.
Rock drummers must be in tip top shape. Distance runner shape.
Boston’s drummer just died on stage this last week. He was 67. Heart attack.
Ginger baker, in his mid-seventies can’t even practice. He is racked by arthritis.
Eric Clapton, disabled by some inflammatory ailment, is giving his final concerts over the next couple of weeks before permanent retirement.
Even Lars Ulrich says he won’t last much longer as the demands of live concerts may be more than he can handle, and he runs 1/2 marathons.
