I have first hand knowledge from a performer and others
they don’t get tired of it

You have what

The usual freeper refrain of hunches and feelings and insults

Waylon snorted a dump truck of coke cause he liked it not because he hated performing

Nothing unusual there ...most folks who snorted blow in the 70s did so cause they liked the high....too much

Waylon performed until his diabetes wouldn’t let him anymore

He loved performing for his fans

As do most other performers sans the arty tortured ones

Your assumption he needed coke to perform his oldies for his fans is reflective of your overall reasoning on this topic....poor

Let’s examime the pinnacle of this subject

The Stones or The Who

Stones net worth per band member ranges from

Ron Wood 90,000,000 to Mick and Immortal at around 250-300,000,000 each

The Who last two members

Roger and Pete range from 90-105,000,000

Why stop there

Brian May touring right now 210,000,000

Slash and Iron Maiden both clock in at 100,000,000 plus net worth

All these folks touring this year

Does it look like the need money

No they like touring and playing for fans

It’s not torture ...

Even though yes it can be when you’re broke on a poorly planned tour

Older rockers like it

Your assertion perhaps reflects more of yourself than fact

And what was so bad in Waylon's life that he resorted to such self-medication?

In defending some musicians as representative of all, you ignore the rampant substance abuse which one could say affects at least one main member of most major performing groups across multiple genres.
