Thanks for sharing, that is bittersweet.

Had my crystal ball been working better, I would have somehow tried to see them on that tour.

In 2014, she still sang very well for her age. There is a lot of warmth in that vocal—and she pitched nicely.

By 2018, she seemed exhausted and much frailer.

I wonder if she was getting treatments. That would definitely hinder voice.

I think that was part of it. Also, that 2014-15 tour was huge. While I know Mick wanted to reconquer the planet, and make (to lose) more millions, that tour took its toll on all of them.

More recording, less touring—that’s my motto for older artists.

And then she went right into BuckVie (finish) then tour, Classics: East West, then Lindsey firing, then 2018 tour.
