they're already old. any band that has old members should quite/retire.
i believe 30-40 year old is the maximum age for a musician to pursue a band. otherwise, they need to retire.

Luckily, you`re the only person I know with this ridiculous opinion.

And for your information, nearly all the original Kiss members are in their late 50`s and early 60`s, so they`re long past your suggested 30-40 maximum age group!

Iron Maiden are all in their 50's and are still one of the best live bands out there. Motorhead's Lemmy is another example of age being immaterial and let's not forget bands like Metallica and Slayer are well into their 40's and still kicking arse.

BB King also says otherwise and he is in his 80's and someone I would love to see live.
