Recently, some American on YouTube mentioned some sort of somewhat exclusive set he has due in the US - might actually have happened by now; can't remember dates. Anyway, he mentioned he wouldn't be going, not with tickets at $350 and the way his voice is now and has been for the last 3 years. Haven't heard his live stuff in years. Have noticed however his speaking voice has now changed being lower in pitch and somewhat wavering. Noticed the same with Melvyn Bragg when I heard him on the radio a year or two ago compared to when he did The South Bank Show on TV. More recently, same with Paul Merton.
At work someone was saying PM was good at Glastonbury; Piers Morgan was enthusiastic as well while knocking Diana Ross for her performance. Curious, I thought I would check his Glastonbury set out, which I did last night.
Well, despite being a lifelong fan, two songs was all I managed. I just found his voice pretty shot. Yes, he is 80; if it was me though, I'd call it a day. Had me wondering what Mick Jagger sounds like now. Two weeks time Dion (Dimucci) is 83 and he still sounds pretty good.
