McCartney has been playing live shows for the better part of 60 years, with no signs of slowing down. Fellow Beatle Ringo Starr recently summed up how he’s been able to stay spry into his 80s; “Well, I love what I’m doing,” Starr told The New York Times. McCartney’s longtime guitarist Brian Ray observed something similar in Macca: “He’s passionate about it. And he loves to sing a song. He loves to entertain. He’s just got that gene in him. He was born to do it. I think to myself, ‘Why? Why do it?’ He has to love it, because it’s a schlep for anybody. I don’t care if you’re Paul or whoever you are, it is still a schlep. You gotta still get up and go and make that plane and make that bus. It’s still a schlep. You’ve gotta really want it,” Ray told New York’s WAXQ radio station last year (via Ultimate Guitar). “He certainly doesn’t need it. It’s not about that. It’s about—I guess he looked at people like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, who kept doing it. I think Chuck was doing shows into his early 90s, if I’m not mistaken. So, I think Paul looks at that and goes like, ‘Why stop? Just why stop? I love it. I enjoy it. People are loving it.'”
