LAS VEGAS, NV — Following a recent performance by a legendary band of their greatest hits, fans posted online about how they couldn't believe how much the lead singer had aged in the last 50 years.
Though the crowd appeared to enjoy the show, attendees later expressed shock that the band's frontman looked so much older and worn down by life than he did when the band first hit it big in the 1970s.
"Man, he really looks old now," said one fan in a social media post. "It's a far cry from the way he looked a half century ago. It just goes to show the effect a life of rock and roll, partying, and naturally aging over several decades can have on a person's appearance."
Other fans expressed similar surprise that a man who was now in his mid-70s looked so much older than he did when he was 25. "I can't believe how much he's changed," another longtime fan said online. "One would expect him to look virtually the same as he did five decades ago, but shockingly, he looks way older now. I wonder what happened to him."
Fans of the band were dumbfounded as to what could have resulted in such a transformation to a person who first gained notoriety when a loaf of bread cost 40 cents.
At publishing time, fans of the band had also expressed surprise that a group made up of elderly Social Security recipients didn't seem to have the same level of energy, speed, and dexterity they had during the Gerald Ford administration.

The problem is that a lot of them can’t sing for sh#t anymore.
Some never could though.
Even older singers like Andre Botticelli(blind Italian singer) can’t sing as well as they could 30 years ago, yet his concert tickets are still over $200 at Boston Garden next month.
Frampton Comes Out Of The Closet
Woke up this morning with a peter in my hand
Whose schlong? What schlong? What’d I do all night long?
Must have been a dream I don’t believe where I’ve been
Come on, let’s do it again
The only one that I know of who more or less kept his voice is Paul Rodgers.
And nobody cares about McCartney’s voice, because you can’t even hear him since everybody in the audience is singing along.
Paul McCartney is out on a 20 date tour. 3-4 of these dates are stadiums. I had no idea he could fill a stadium. His voice is ragged from age.
Aw, you beat me to it. Keef hasn't changed much in 350 years...
Most of the old rockers are on the “one foot in the grave...one foot on a banana peel” tour.
Ron Wood actually looks pretty good. He’s even reuniting with Rod Stewart, who also still looks great.
Keith Richards will probably accidentally say Shazam! One of these days and turn into a pile of ash.
Every time I see a photo of Bono now, I about fall over in shock. He was a beauty in 1987. I mean, in my opinion.
“Keith Richards says, ‘Don’t do drugs!’....Keith, we can’t do any drugs, because you already did them all, there’s none left! We have to wait until you die, so we can smoke your ashes!”

You get the face you deserve.
True, but not so much for the rest of the band. I know of some guitarists that just seem to get better and better as they get older. Same for keyboards and horns, but not so much for drummers. Drums can really take a toll on you.
That cracked me up!
Drums can really take a toll on you.
Neil Peart and Phil Collins are two examples.
Drums can really take a toll on you.
Just look at Spinal Tap. ;)
I love the drumming Collins did with Brand X.
