This is very true. I watched the video of living in a ghost town from Sunday. He still very impressive really working the audience!!Quote
The Worst.
Many good suggestions, but the one thing that made it possible for them to do big stadium tours from 1989 and onwards is the incredible physical (and mental) discipline of Mick Jagger. If he had been overweight or not able to move and dance, or simply lost his voice, it would have been very different. Just think of Elvis at the end. It’s too sad to watch. The fact that Jagger has always been Jagger, the frontman that never stops moving around the stage and working hard for the audience, with the same famous voice intact – that is really what made it possible for this band to sell out stadium after stadium. Mick Jagger is now approaching 80 - and still performes and delivers at the very top level.

It's easy to say money but it can hardly be that big a deal at this point - they must have enough for themselves and future generations. Good genes, good luck, ability to change with the times, a loyal following and love of performing has to be the top 5.

Another reason they last so long is Mick's inability to be embarrassed by singing Miss You and Satisfaction for the Zillionth time so far into old age.

Why should he be embarrassed?

As much as we love them don't you think sometimes if you take a step back it's a bit comical seeing an old man hop and skip along trying to resemble youth, every so often I see it awkwardly because of how he presents it.
You see Roger Daltry concentrate on a great vocal and it just seems more honest, I just wish Mick spent less time and energy struggling with covering the catwalks and just concentrated on the band and the vocals.
On a bunch of songs the other night Mick's voice was so wanting, he always ends up stretching himself and then we get cancelled shows when he loses his voice.
Sorry but you did ask.

They are all such lousy musicians that they should not be allowed to join any other band.
