I always liked Genesis , Collins and Gabriel too. Very talented. Age catches up with everyone. Pretty much every musician — including the most talented — reach a point where they don’t “have it” anymore and should hang it up.

For most of them, yeah, but not for all of them. My parents are friends with Jack Petersen, the jazz guitarist, who is 77 years old now. He recently suffered a hand injury, but recovered from that and is still playing. I heard him last month, and he sounds as good as ever.
