The stadiums still sell out and the merchandising still shifts, while eagerly awaited dates are being finalised for the “Talking About My Golden Generation” European tour.

Some of the famous old band members have retired, replaced by stars in the making, young performers who are technically good but have yet to prove whether they can survive the physical and psychological rigours of a gruelling summer schedule.

England’s May and June itinerary certainly reads like a rock group’s mammoth tour: London, Marbella, London, Dublin, Krakow, Donetsk, Krakow, Kiev, Krakow, Donetsk, Krakow.
