Ian Anderson Criticizes Mick Jagger Vocal Skills Amid Aging Challenges

News summary

Ian Anderson, the lead singer and flutist of Jethro Tull, recently commented on Mick Jagger's vocal skills in an interview with Now Spinning Magazine, describing Jagger as "a shouter" who never set a high bar for vocal technique. Anderson, who is 77 years old and managing health issues like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contrasted his physically demanding role playing the flute and singing with Jagger's style of performing, which mainly involves energetic shouting and movement rather than vocal precision. He acknowledged Jagger's animated stage presence and age but emphasized the greater technical and physical challenges he faces during performances. Anderson also discussed the general difficulties of aging as a performer and the physical limits that come with playing instruments like the flute while singing. His remarks were made without disrespect but highlighted the different demands on vocalists depending on their performance style and instrumental responsibilities. These insights came amid Anderson's ongoing European tour and reflections on his health and longevity in music.
