Was fortunate enough to see Etta James, John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, BB King (and Lucille) and a few of my other favorites when they were well past "Senior Citizen" minimum age. Never sounded better in most cases.
Those with true grit and talent get better with time (health permitting). Those who are simply marketable will fade out with a trend, regardless of age. The Stones have talent.
It's better to burn out, than fade away. Rust never sleeps.
Mr. Young is 67, btw. He is now the "Old Man" he's been singing about for decades. I wouldn't pass on concert tickets.
