The main reason old geezer bands keep touring is because they need the money. Their records aren't producing much anymore, if they even still own any of the rights. Rock star's lifestyles ain't cheap either. I can't speak for all of them of course, but it's a road many of them go down to keep making money.

I envy the fact that they're still playing, myself. The playing part of touring is all the fun but that's only two hours here and two hours there of fun at a time. The drudgable work is all the constant travel.

Yeah that may be the case for some bands but not the Who. They say Pete Townsend is worth around $150M.
