Rub your eyes, turn all the clocks back, the little guy’s on the road again.

Charles Aznavour, hier soir, sur la scène d’Amphitéa.

Charles Aznavour, 87 years old, is touring France to packed houses. He plans one more big night at Olympia. See here.

And he’s not alone. Juliette Greco is planning a comeback tour next year. She’s 84.

Anne Sylvestre is still on the go, at a mere 77.

And they really are going strong, no compromises to advancing age.

Must be something in the diet.
