It’s Just a Number: 36 Aging Musicians Still Rockin’ It In 2023

I was having a conversation with a buddy of mine the other day about iconic musicians who have recently passed on. It bums me out. Legendary sounds we're never going to get back again. Many of our favorite artists are gone and those still around are getting up there in age.

So I thought it'd be fun to list out some widely known musicians who are still with us (in some cases, barely). Most are still making music. Good ol' Willie Nelson, for example, is still out doing his thing. And he still delivers. Willie is just one of many. You may be surprised as to who's still kicking. All these folks are in their 70s and up.

That's a pretty impressive list of artists who are still around. With two Beatles and a Rolling Stone, you just can't go wrong. Of course, this is just a small sample. There are many more still making music. Take some time to circle back and enjoy the work of the musicians still with us. That's my plan.

There are many big-name musicians (some still around and some who are gone) from right here in the Lone Star State. Keep scrolling to see how many you recognize.
