Senior Acts Getting Iffy....
My better half had tickets to see Fleetwood Mac last month (with a friend, I had little interest with no Lindsey Buckingham) and it ended up being cancelled due to Stevie Nicks having an illness. Last night her and daughter headed out to see Cher. After the opening act, there was a one hour gap when it was announced that Cher was ill and could not perform. It was very last minute so I expect she was quite sick unfortunately. No word yet this morning on the cause but of course we wish her well. As someone who is also approaching senior years, it's hard to believe how some of these acts can climb up on stage and belt out songs from younger days. One of my favourite musicians in the world, David Gilmour, comes under that umbrella. How impressive was that when, at over 70, he was touring for his Rattle That Lock album and still putting his voice and fantastic guitar playing to Pink Floyd songs of days gone by? Geez, I'm about a decade younger than him and I consider it a success if get the blu ray of Rattle That Lock in the player right side up. Of course there are a myriad acts still performing, The Stones, McCartney, Clapton, Jeff Beck etc....but it's getting to be that time, if you're taking in a senior act consider yourself lucky if all goes well.
