But in the Frankie video, sorry for the sarcasm but an animatronic would have done it better. That show was in Chautauqua, NY. I guess he doesn’t live there, I googled and it says he lives in Encino, CA. So he probably stayed at a hotel. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's very likely that he'll need help taking a shower in a bathroom that isn't his own. And I can't imagine him walking long distances inside airports. So my first impression coincides with elder abuse. Lindsey (nor any Mac member that I’ve seen recently in media) doesn't need a wheelchair or assistance bathing.

However, if he was sincere in this video, nobody is forcing him:

I think he just turned 91. He has been touring every year of his adult life so I find some truth to him saying he loves it. But when you don't move your mouth and pre-recorded tracks of your youth are played it may be time to hang it up. But his fans love him and he is giving them what they want. If Stevie Nicks was doing this at 91 and in the same state people would still come to see her.
To be moving and standing at all at age 91 is a miracle by itself let alone being on stage. These shows make good money. He's always at casinos and small theaters across the United States.
