He's not going to stop playing gigs 'till he drops down dead.
That might be accurate, as the farewell tour is supposed to run 300 gigs over the next three years. And what with the recent mortality rate of older rockers from his generation...

But agree with Flex and Hes - the man cut some great records early on.

I'm a fan of Elton's early songs. It has already been said that Elton will not stop playing live but just will not take on so much in the way of doing big tours.

Well he's sure going about retiring from the big tours in the wrong way! Christ, 300 shows over three years? Shit, he's likely gonna outlive me!

He's in fifth place after Clapton.

Hey now. You're not a fan of people giving bands you love shit. That horrible bastard opened up new worlds for me. Let's give it a little space more than "literally less than 24 hours after the news broke" before we start this stuff. I'm still getting used to this idea. When Keith Richards goes, I'll look at his great playing and positive impact until the wound starts to heal and we can intellectualise the negatives.

I think muppet was making a point about how shitty it is to wish for the death of musicians.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
