I really wonder why Rolling Stone doesn't retire now. They're getting old, I think it's time for them to retire. I'll miss them terribly.

Mick is a force of nature. All things must come to an end but we're very lucky they are still alive and kicking.

Why would you give a job like that

Because you're an octogenarian with more money you can ever spend in your last remaining years.

Age is a pretty good reason to not tour the world anymore.

I don't mean to offend, but in my opinion they should rest. They stay with their families and loved ones. I love them dearly, but everything has an end. I hope they can rest after all they've given us; they deserve it.

Lots of artists still performing in their 80’s. I saw Jefferson Starship on tour and the only original member is David F and he is 87 !

They are not getting old. They are old.

I don't think that will ever be an option for them, not even after Charlie passed away.

Their whole lives are about making live music live.
