What old stars would you like to retire.

[Tarot]

I would like the following to retire gracefully, Paul Macartney, Rod Stewart, Lulu,Tony Bennet,Simply Red,Joanna

Lumley, and so many more. Ther are so many new singers and bands now.

To see these old has beens ,either selling books or releasing yet another cover of their songs,so embarassing.

Who would you put out to pasture.?

[Tarot]

Of course I would exclude ,The Quao".Rock on.

[pablogrande]

Harry Enfield, Vera Lynne, Eamonn Holmes, the Queen

[DJKillaQueen]

Joanna Lumley? Why should she retire? She's an actress (not a singer or in a band). In fact why should anyone retire if the work is there? I think this thread is an example of ageism tbh.

[womanofdulwich]

i have nothing against older performers like actors or musicians, it is the "presenter"type I wish would retire and let someone else have a go. Terry Wogan and Brucie spring to mind- but then the older generation might miss them; I wish they would just stick to charity work.

Had you thought that if you retire all the Old Stars, It would be pitch black on a moonless night.

[Keef]

Coldplay. They're not old, but I'd love it if they stopped!

[PeckhamRose]

Jeremy Irons

David Jason

David Suchet

I'll give Bill Nighy another couple of years on telly then he's out. But he just does Bill Nighy these days.

[Mick Mac]

Joan Rivers....

[Moos]

Betelgeuse. So yesterday.

[felt-tip]

retirement would be too kind for Brucey.

[Jah Lush]

Brucie. Mr Saturday Night. It's like he's been there forever presiding over an endless array of crap.

[computedshorty]

From my point of view it should be what New so called Comics would you BAN.

and the singers that have only one word or a line repeted over and over.

The supposedly Real builders repairing those buildings that were faultly built whose Tradesmen are shown not even holding a saw properly ( with a guide finger )and in close up its another bodge that they have done themselves.

Ask Dave? I will need a Six by two box soon, but if I asked him, he would make it triangular.

Ferne Cotton - that's not ageist, more Talent-ist

[Tarot]

Sting Bob Geldof,George Michael.Andy Williams.Elton John.

Well, He doesn't come down the stairs any more - so I think he's possibly becoming decrepit.

Oh yes. It feels like he's got worse... or perhaps I just didn't notice how bad the jokes were when I was a little kid. Strictly is the only thing of his I've watched as an adult, and that's definitely despite rather than because he presents.

I wouldn't put Paul McCartney out to pasture though - saw him at the Isle of Wight festival this year and he put on a better performance than I've seen from some people less than half his age. If you've still got a decent voice and you've a decent back catalogue I can't see a problem with carrying on. It's when the voice goes like Frank Sinatra's did that it's embarassing.

[Emerson Crane]

Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, Adrian Chiles, Robbie (Lily) Savage, Gary Lineker, that'll do to be getting on with.

[Keef]

Knowing what I know now, I'd like to have retired Paul in about 1980!

[Kingy]

Ditto to allof the above (and more too numerous to mention)

That made me laugh out loud at my desk, got some starnge looks, but totally agree. Speed of light my arse!!!

[huncamunca]

Wills, Kate ( sorry dear, but you are guilty by association now ), chelsea n harry & the rest of these parasitic vermin.. They should be retired with a bullet to the back of the head and left on Goose Green for the ED Feral wildlife to gorge on. And Thatcher. And feckin Bono.

[Brendan]

Polaris has always been shit in my opinion.

[Simonet]

Bruce Forsyth really should retire gracefully.

[Dickensman]

Tony Robinson should have retired after Baldrick, Bill Oddie should have retired before the Goodies,

Bruce Forsyth has been mentioned already several times,

Judi Dench, Stephen Fry is on the cusp of being a great bore of our time,

Terry Wogan has left his broadcasting spot perhaps now he might be banned from the box.

Angus Deayton should be brought back from retirement.
