The intent of this thread was to reflect on several contemporaries of Gord's: Neil Diamond, Elton John, Paul Simon, who have announced touring retirement plans due either to health issues, or a desire to spend more time with family. With Gord turning 80 in November, it seemed an interesting time for some of us, many fans of his for 50+ years, to reflect on advancing age and the rigors of touring. But, look at Tony Bennett, at 91 he's still going!
