While I loved Aerosmith as a teen, this guy is SEVENTY FIVE YEARS OLD and should’ve hung it up DECADES ago.
What DRIVES ‘entertainers’ to these extremes? Do they have NOTHING else in their lives to make them happy?
I’ll never understand it.
P.S. You gals from ‘80 for Brady’ need to hang it up, too. ;)

Why Kix is Calling It Quits This Month
Kix will play their final show this month — and according to vocalist Steve Whiteman, not a moment too soon.
The Maryland rockers are set to end a 45-year career with a Sept. 17 hometown gig at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia. “I don’t want to go out sucking — I want to go out being pretty good,” Whiteman said on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk (via Blabbermouth). “But age takes its toll,” he added, citing drummer Jimmy Chalfant’s 2021 heart attack and subsequent onstage collapse last November as contributing factors.
“There are nights, out of the past couple of years, where I’ve come offstage just humiliated because I can’t sing ‘Don’t Close Your Eyes’ like I used to, or I can’t sing ‘Cold Blood,’” Whiteman added. “These are the songs that the fans are out there waiting for. And that’s when I started to think I don’t want to do this if I can’t do it well anymore.”
They do it now cuz they spent all their money.
Along with James Earl Jones, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Why should ANY BODY “hang it up?...who are you to judge a dude that has performed and lived the Rock n Roll life?...get back to your 9 ta 5 or were you shit canned because of age?
Then there’s Willie Nelson age 90 who will will be giving 12 concerts in October.

That seems to be a theme all around these days…LOL.
Aerosmith was a fun band. But you are right. It’s time.
My wife keeps asking me if I want to go see these old acts. After a couple of concerts you learn that most of them can still play. They can’t sing any more.
I am happier with my memories of them, rather than making new bad memories.
It was Clint who made a movie at 86 who taught us “Don’t let the old man in”
