    A lot of them are singers rather than musicians.

    This is an odd list. Includes Peter Frampton but not Jimmy Page, no Keith Richards or Brian May, Ginger Baker isn't there either. Never mind good to know a lot of my hero's are still with us.

    There should be a weighting based on drug intake?

    Wouldn't count on it. If he's not dead by now, there's either something supernatural going on or he's accidentally managed to discover a way to preserve the body before death due to one of the many combinations of drugs he's taken in his lifetime.

    Up until a couple of years ago, it was The Kinks. Probably someone like Slade or Quo.

    No Meat Loaf?
    No Phil Collins?

    Disgrace.

    The Trashmen still tour with three of the original four ( the drummer passed away ) which isn't too bad.

    You might laugh at my rockabilly obsession, but The Jets have been going 35 years non stop as the original trio now. They can't be far off the longest?

    That was scary, though in her pomp she was older than you would have thought

    One of my heroes Burt Bacharach is well into his nineties now.

    If Barry fucking Manilow is on there Burt must be the king

    Time flies. Didn't realise she was that old.

    It's not great for my own mental state that all these artists, many who I grew up listening to , are that age and soon many will be gone :(

    I can't believe Stevie Wonder is that YOUNG! I know he started when he was 11, but even then

    As mentioned earlier both Slade and Status Quo, all original members still alive and all older than 64.
