The Stones pact with the Devil.

Ronnie decides to finally give up heavy drinking before his 75th birthday.
Disregarding the dried leather look how are these guys still alive? nevermind still tearing it up.

Young blood too.

One article in the papers said something always happens when they play the SFTD song live. Someone might fall off their ladder, spill their tea or loose a leg etc.

British rock stars are indestructible. American ones die in their 20s or 30s but the Brits raised on spam are laughing at death.

They are some ancient looking guys for their mid 70s though.

Read Keith Richards book a few years ago, looking at the photos he looked about 37 when he was in his early twenties..

meeeeh

I would suspect some of them are quite fit and active despite hedonistic lifestyle.

It's down to stress and they've had a largely stress free life.

Their insatiable desire to father more children keeps them going.

Jagger is a health freak and has been for a long time. Don't think he's tearing it up....unless by "it" you mean young **********

Love The Stones except for "I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?" When after all, it was you and me" - what the hell is that supposed to mean? Seems like one of those "deep" lyrics that students would think is ****ing brilliant.

Those who shot/ordered the assassination of JFK and RFK are the ones who killed the Kennedys.

And all they talk about it is Trump.
The Stones wrote the book on it.

Which one of them had the "relationship" with the 13 year old girl? Oh yeah Big Bill!

John Sacrimoni

Hopefully they all have a few years left, or enough time that they can come back here for a gig anyway. The Croke Park gig last year was superb.

If "You & Me" hadn't elected them they wouldn't have died the way they did.

"We" put them in that position, ergo "We" are responsible for their deaths.

Ah well now that's a heck of a stretch there by the Mickster and the Keefster. But it's "deep"!

Aye, while they may put on a good live show, the albums have been getting progressively worse since Mick Taylor's exodus.

For Forks Sake

I reckon at some point Keith Richards managed to ingest a combination of narcotics that inadvertently made him immortal.

Nah .... for every cigarette you smoke god takes 5 mins off your life and give it to Keith Richards and the lads

mistersifter

As Keith has said himself: he has enough money to make absolutely sure the drugs he takes are as pure as possible.

He's not some junkie who's desperately sharing needles and purchasing from some scummer on the street.

Im sure this helps somewhat.

Yeah, but at a population-level, the clean-livers should live longer. I think something like 40% of cancers at lifestyle-related and then you have things like cirrhosis of the liver. It’s true that healthy people can get struck down by illnesses young but your chances of living longer are better with a healthy lifestyle.

Say Your Number

Didn't Liam Miller die of pancreatic cancer at 37, I'm presuming he ate the right things and he was a top level sportsman, then you've the likes Lemmy or Keith Richards showing nothing but contempt for their bodies and living into their seventies, when really they had no right to make it past 40, it's f*cked up when you think about it.

Bonzo Delaney

Life is cruel full stop but I don't think it's right to hint that they shouldn't be here instead of someone more deserving there's plenty of other candidates on both sides.
Rock stars are a funny one take Ozzy also another one with two fingers up to medical science along with Nikki Stix also Slash Steve and Duff from GnR all died and sent back to planet earth not so much Duff but as good as pancares exploded.
There has to be something in Keith's logic of been able to afford quality gear.

Say Your Number

I'm not saying I'd prefer if they died young the world would have been deprived of some great music, but I heard that Lemmy drank a bottle of Jack Daniels a day for a long time, was a heavy smoker and did a lot of drugs, and he somehow made it to 70 living like that, looking at it coldly and objectively, surely his heart or liver would have packed it in long before that.

Yeah it's a sh1tty game of chance.

David Crosby is another who, by his own admission, shouldn't be here. Ironically, Lemmy was really anti heroin!

But then again, so many died young too. That stupid "27 club" yoke, and all the others. If you name any indestructible rock musician, there's a very high chance that one of their fellow band members died young.

Billy86

Random bit of trivia on the Rolling Stones I learned on a walking tour in Prague last year. A while after communism fell, they played a concert in Prague Castle (which is absolutely magnificent, basically it's own town and like something lifted straight from a Disney movie - and I'm not even particuarly interested in castles etc typically) but thought it a shame that this castle, on the top of a hill across a small river from the rest of the city, was so dark at night that it couldn't be seen... so they gave their floodlighting equipment to the city (or paid for new ones, can't remember the exact details there).

So whenever you see Prague Castle at night, the only reason you're seeing it is because of The Rolling Stones. :pac:

I read something interesting a while back, that clean-living people are often diagnosed with cancer at a later stage, especially if they are young, because both they and their doctors think that the early, often non-specific symptoms couldn’t possibly be anything so serious because they lead such a healthy lifestyle. Whereas somebody who is less healthy might have reason to believe that something serious could be up and they get the necessary scans and screening sooner.
