If:
Bruce Dickinson
Glenn Hughes
Ian Gillan
Paul Rodgers
Joe Cocker
Southside Johnny
Bruce Springsteen
David Coverdale
Graham Bonnet
can still do it there's no reason why Jon can't. Especially when Deep Purple basically toured non-stop from 1995-present day with little gaps in between.

I think the problem with the age is the number of concerts they play during a tour.
Maybe in the future they're gonna play only 40/50 dates per tour with a couple of days off between a concert and the next one and one month between a leg and the other.

And BJ DO NOT do long tours at all, and usually we're talking 3 in a week at most, occasionally 4, and its not like they are travelling from show to show 1000s of kms in a tour bus, nor do they do soundchecks anymore so it shouldn't really take its toll.
In fairness Mick Jagger is not a good singer anyway, and never was spectacular... just unique.
