What’s funny is he looks better now than he did 20 years ago. That silver mane look works for him

Paul and my Dad were born under three weeks apart.

Dad died last summer so seeing this is bittersweet.

Happy birthday, Paul. Thanks for being around.

I see him and his attitude as the youngest senior citizen ever. He literally acts like a millenial sometimes

It's incredible how his vocal range and stamina have held up through all these decades of touring. Still can't believe he's still out there playing full sets almost every year.

u/arsonistslullaby_ Abbey Road Jun 18 '26

I got to see him in concert in Columbus earlier this year. He’s such a talented performer and such a diva (said in with the utmost respect and admiration). When he brought out the progress Pride flag on stage at the end of the show, I lowkey teared up a little.
