When rock stars grow old

PM

Available for over a year

Old rockers never die, goes the unfinished saying...but of late we've lost a few. Others seem to be succumbing to frailties mere humans get - not rockers. So what does it mean when the music stars of your youth start getting old? "This year we've started to feel the end of an era", says Neil McCormick of the Daily Telegraph, for "these characters represented something bigger than just famous celebrities of their time - they represented eternal youth" (Photo by Terry Disney/Express/Getty Images)
