Ugh, it’s about time they hung it up. I remember going to their “farewell tour” in the 1990s. 3 decades later these geezers are still stumbling around stage. (and I say this as a geezer myself... stop already!)

Yes, Mick and Keith agree................

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.

" I remember going to their “farewell tour” in the 1990s. "

The only tour labeled as the "farewell tour" was 1982, which was freaking glorious. And had The Clash opening for most of the dates.

The only tour of the 90s was the '96 tour -- Quad, Tommy, hits -- which set the pattern for every tour to follow.
