"Eddie Van Halen, whose two-handed tapping made him a generational talent, died of cancer in 2020. Gregg Allman, the soulful voice behind 'Whipping Post' and 'Midnight Rider,' passed away in 2017."
"Paul McCartney still sells out stadiums and mesmerizes audiences with his charm, charisma and the deepest songbook in pop, but at 83, his voice is more strain than sweetness."
"Cheap Trick's most recent albums rock, and the band's live shows continue to sizzle, recalling 1978's iconic 'At Budokan.'"
"'We have the same basic music tastes and kind of grew up together,' bassist Petersson said. 'It just works.'"
Classic rock is experiencing a decline as many legendary musicians have died, including Eddie Van Halen and Gregg Allman. Original members of bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd are no longer alive. Paul McCartney remains active but shows signs of aging. The Rolling Stones lost drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. However, Cheap Trick, with three original members still performing, continues to produce vibrant music and deliver energetic live shows, showcasing their enduring appeal in the genre.
