I can imagine him playing well into his 80s as well. A large part of his catalogue would sound very convincing coming from an older performer.

His new album for instance (though mostly covers) is a perfect vehicle for a septuagenarian.

Apparently he is currently recording a new rock 'n roll album. Not quite done with rock 'n roll just yet. I look forward to anything he does from here on in.

rock on!

Pianist Eubie Blake was just weeks shy of his 98th birthday when he performed at Carnegie Hall so the future is your's Macca...

Since he is one of the very very best live acts nowadays, when he is 70, it is easy to believe. I wish him the best, strong helth most of all and I hope to see him again soon!

Hold your horses! He isn't 70 yet! But yeah, he still continues to put out an amazing show. And we are blessed to still have his passion shine for his fans. I hope to see him again this summer on another one of his mini tours. . .

Wonderful stuff...

He indeed is an incredible live act, putting on a long, emotional, rocking show. He's turning 70 in three months and still keeping real busy. A smattering of european dates starting at the end of this month including one at the Royal Albert Hall, a new album in the works.

It's great that he's still out there doing it, long may it continue!

What's your favourite flavour?...........Cherry Red!!

He'll go the route as a crooner as his last record hinted at.

I can imagine him performing well into his 80s, but I'm not sure I can imagine myself paying to see him when he's well into his 80s.

I too hope that McCartney continues to play (very) well.....into his 80's or beyond.

What a ghastly thought!

Great setlists too.

But the cynical person might see a lot of alimony and lost song rights royalities along with an expensive lifestyle forcing him to work into his 80's.

Yup, for legal reasons, he is already limited in how many shows he can do in the U.S each year.

Well, McCartney has been a nostalgia act for over 40 years now so why not go for 50? The demand for Beatles nostalgia is never withering it seems.

"Paul McCartney, do you see yourself performing well into your 80s?"

"What do you mean, sexually?"

"Well, sure, that too!"

"As long as I'm satisfied."

"Are you satisfied with your performances now?"

"Do you mean sexually? Yes, I suppose I'm sexually satisfied now."

I present for your enjoyment, The Complete Works Of mickscarey. They're all here, all of his greatest posts, including "who cares," "Zzzzzzzzzzzz," and, of course, "DONE DEAL."

he could perform, for sure, but he has to change the keys to many songs

Some people can; some can't. Guess it depends on health and how the body and voice hold up. Dylan has kept going up to 70, but his voice is pretty shot. Others have done it. Some can't. Only time will tell.

You have lots of time to come to grips with it. Maybe Mick and him will hook up since they will both still be performing in their eighties?

Going to be fun watching both him and his son James over the next ten years or so. I have a feeling his son will be in it for the long haul too. If it's in the bones, it's in the bones, sometimes anyway.

He has no plans to step aside for the younger bands, says they will have to beat him. His manager wanted him to quit at fifty. Said, he would embarrass himself to go beyond that age. Amazing how so many others want to put restrictions on your dreams and aspirations. Always nice to see them proven wrong.

Yes, do what you love and you shall always be happy. Stay healthy, and be a little lucky and you can go a long way in some professions. I look forward to both the latter years of the Stones and what remains of the Beatles. Ringo's latest was not bad at all.

The demand for Beatles nostalgia is never withering. Just never goes away does it? Never will, not in our lifetime anyway. The possibilities are unlimited.

Mickscarey quakes in his boots whenever anything associated with the Beatles is mentioned. Glad I don't have that problem. I love them both.

Amazing how youthful he still looks at nearly 70. Good genes can go along way, but just as important is outlook. Paul knows exactly who he is and how important he is to so many. He knows he was gifted and respects his gift and the higher power that gifted him.

Wellput StonesCrow.

And I can imagine listening to Paul in my 80s. Specially if he's rockin'
