Check Out These 37 Aging Musicians Who Are Still With Us In 2023
I was having a conversation with a buddy of mine the other day about iconic musicians that are passing away. It bums me out. Legendary sounds that we're never going to get back again. Many of our favorite artists are now gone and those still around are getting up there in age.
I thought it'd be fun to dig out some widely known musicians who are still with us, in some cases, barely. Nevertheless, most are still making music today. Good ol' Willie Nelson, for example, is still out doing his thing. Even though the man has a bunch of miles on him, he still delivers. He's just one of many. You may even be surprised as to who's still alive. Keep looking and see how many of these musicians you've heard of.

That's a pretty impressive list of artists who are still around. With two Beatles and a Rolling Stone, you just can't go wrong. Of course, this is just a small sample. There are many more still making music. However, 2023 has already been a brutal year for deaths. Take some time to circle back and enjoy the work of the musicians we still have. That's my plan. You never know when we won't have them any longer.
There are many big-name musicians (some still around and some who are gone) who are from right here in the Lone Star State. Keep scrolling to see how many you might recognize.
