Does pop music need a retirement age?
Cyndi Lauper performed during the Global Citizen festival on Sept. 25, 2021, in New York. STEFAN JEREMIAH/Associated Press If this is Lauper's last tour, she's the rare legacy artist to leave behind the rigors of the road. Like Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court, pop music has no retirement age. And for better or worse, artists in their 70s, 80s, and beyond keep touring and flogging their oldies for fans who just don't know how to let go. Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Then again, neither do the performers. Advertisement Last week, During the first part of that tour in 2022, McCartney played two sold-out shows at Fenway Park. In his Advertisement For devoted fans, the intangible essence that makes a particular artist distinctive can obscure the inevitable ravages of time, even to the artist themselves. A few years ago I went to a concert featuring two groups whose commercial peak came in the 1980s. One of the bands, a British duo, sounded fantastic, as if no time had passed. Not so with the lead singer of the other group who, at 70, didn't seem to notice that once easily accessible notes were now well beyond his reach. But for older performers it can be more than octaves that are no longer within their range. Last year, social media was inundated with clips of singer 'I absolutely love what I do,' Valli wrote. 'And I know we put on a great show because our fans are still coming out in force and the show still rocks.' Others recognize when it's time for their last encore. Plagued with health problems, In May, Osbourne told Advertisement For many artists, the fans who've stayed with them for decades are family, too, and they can't imagine walking away despite fragile health or advanced age. Excess, not age, was Elvis Presley's problem, and it led to his death at 42. In an 'E! True Hollywood Story' about But his fans didn't care. 'His audience accepted him,' Jerry Weintraub, a legendary concert promoter and film producer, said in the episode. 'When they saw him on the stage and they saw him at 300 pounds, they saw the Elvis from 20 years before. They couldn't see [the physical changes].' Remembering aging artists as young and dynamic is also a vital link to our own younger and more dynamic selves. That's part of what music alone uniquely does. A riff or a chorus whisks an audience back to that original moment of revelation. Gleefully screaming out the lyrics of a favorite song played live in concert erases today and its woes and revives all those yesterdays full of possibilities. I felt that the first time I saw Lauper in concert on an unseasonably raw spring day in 2004, two decades after her breakthrough album, 'She's So Unusual.' She stood on the arms of a seat in the middle of the audience and belted out 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' — in the same venue where she'll play on Thursday. It's understandable why many musicians shun retirement — few things can replace the rapture of an adoring audience. But there's a lot to be said for those who walking off the stage too early rather than too late when neither the singer nor the song remain the same. Advertisement Renée Graham is a Globe columnist.

Key suspect in Kim Kardashian Paris robbery 'dies suddenly' before trial
Marceau Baum-Gertner, a key suspect in the 2016 $10,000,000 (£7,511,455) Paris robbery of Kim Kardashian, has reportedly died before the case was set to go to trial. Baum-Gertner died aged 72 on March 6, according to Mail Online, in Paris' 10th arrondissement. A cause of death has not yet been announced, but a source told the publication that his death was 'sudden.' 'Mr Baum-Gertner had been released on bail following his arrest over the Kim Kardashian robbery eight years ago and was living in Paris while regularly reporting to police,' the insider said. 'His name was on the defendants' list for the trial, and he was very enthusiastic about clearing his name in court. 'This was until he died suddenly in the 10th arrondissement of Paris on March 6.' 'He was suspected of liaising with mafia gangs from across the world over the Kardashian jewellery, and criminals are known to have issued threats against him following widespread publicity connected to the case.' Nicknamed 'Rough Nose', he was part of a group of 12 people set to go on trial at the Paris Assizes court on April 28 for kidnapping and armed robbery, nine years after the crime took place. In the early hours of October 3, 2016, while she was attending Paris Fashion Week, Kim was attacked in her room at the Hôtel de Pourtalès. The terrifying attack was led by five armed men, posing as police officers, who tied up the socialite and locked her in the bathroom, along with the concierge. They reportedly stole a jewellery box worth $6.7 million (£5.2million) and a ring worth $4.5 million (£3.4million)—both are believed to be her personal items. She also lost her smartphone during the attack. Baum-Gertner was alleged to have worked with the gang that committed the robbery as a fence, responsible for finding buyers for the stolen goods. Kardashian is set to attend the trial in Paris to face her attackers during the long-awaited trial. In January 2017, 17 people, including Baum-Gertner, were arrested in connection with the robbery. Twelve people are currently on remand and set to face trial. She recalled the experience on an episode of E! True Hollywood Story, which aired in 2019, saying the attack 'changed her whole life.' 'Right as I was about to fall asleep, I heard guys running up the stairs,' the mum-of-four explained. 'They wanted my ring and my jewellery, so I didn't fight back. 'I just gave them everything, and they tied me up. 'They wrapped duct tape over my eyes and my mouth. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through in my entire life, just thinking, you know, you're about to die. 'You're just kind of bracing yourself for the moment that they're going to shoot and kill you.' Appearing on The Alec Baldwin Show in 2018, she said she was 'grateful' for the incident. 'I was never depressed, but I wasn't motivated to get up and work like I used to. It shook me,' she explained. In 2021, Kim opened up to her sister Khloe about experiencing agoraphobia following the robbery. More Trending Coming out of lockdown during the pandemic brought back the fears she had then, as she felt unsafe being outside and tried to avoid fans who approached her and estranged husband Kanye West in the street. She continued: 'People were trying to come up to Kanye and talk to him. People were trying to come up to me and ask for photos and I was like, 'Absolutely not.' I would stop people and be like, 'Get away, this is my first time out. I'm not comfortable with you coming a step closer' 'I feel like I had agoraphobia, definitely, after my robbery in Paris. Definitely would stay in, hated to go out, I didn't want anyone to know where I was or be seen. I just had such anxiety.' 'Then I feel I was just getting back into it, we'd just gone to Paris, we just started travelling again, and then quarantine happened and I'm such a freak all over again and I never wanna leave.'
