Now, while it’s not uncommon for renowned entertainers to continue their careers well into their later years – exemplified by Dick Van Dyke (97), Michael Caine (89), and David Attenborough (96) – it’s important to recognize the distinction between taking on roles in film or TV, providing voiceovers, and engaging in live music tours.

Nonetheless, Nelson is actively scheduling performances and delivering remarkable concerts, an impressive feat for someone nearing his 90th year.
