Quite a line up of hits there. What was he doing touring Europe at age 77? At least he went out doing something he loved.

Believe it or not there are quite a few active and touring musicians that are close to that age. Here are a few that come to mind. Tina Turner, Ringo Starr, Paul Simon,Little Richard, Bob Dylan, Grace Slick, Brian Wilson, Roger Daltry (The Who). Eric Burden (The Animals). I am sure if you Googled it you could come up with a lot more. Remember BB King died in his 80s. :-D
