This is short compared to what we've done before, but it needs to be, I think, at our tender age," said the 72-year-old musician."The thought of doing 50 shows, which was normal at one time for us to sign off on, that is quite daunting. Now, we're doing that in little bits. If we don't do any more I'll be quite happy with that," he added.IANS
