Redefining age 65 – when your job description is "rockstar"

Deep Purple and Orchestra - Maybe I'm a Leo, Mainz, Germany, July 2011:

Ian Gillan, 65, is best known as the lead singer and lyricist for Deep Purple. Roger Glover, 65, is the bassist and songwriter for the group. Ian Paice, 63, is the drummer. He is the only founding member of the band who never stopped performing with the group, and the only member to appear on every album the band has released during the last 43 years (Deep Purple was founded in 1968).

This is the same group almost 40 years ago, in 1972:
I have attended two concerts of Deep Purple, the last one was in June 2011 and it was quite impressive. The audience age ranged from 5 to 75 and everyone rose to their feet to the sound of Smoke on the Water.
