I would have thought that the stress of organising and staging concerts - even if they were in one place - for which ticket demand would exceed even that for their 50th would be something a group of men in their late 70s could do without. I hope I'm proved wrong, but I would have thought that health insurance alone would preclude it. I'll await an official announcement - or not.
To be fair, I think Cliff has tried to put all that behind him and wants to get out there on stage - this is probably a great form of therapy if nothing else.
I would hope that a week or so (or just a couple of nights) at one venue would not be beyond Hank, Bruce and Brian. Still, as you say, they will all be in their mid/late 70s next year and it might not be something that they would want to do.
We shall have to wait and see...
