'I’d give anything if I could keep it up,' says 81-year-old rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Wanda Jackson on giving up touring
For more than 60 years, Wanda Jackson has lived out of a suitcase, working as a touring musician and sharing stages with icons from Elvis Presley to Adele.
Now the “Queen of Rockabilly” is retiring from the road. “It’s just for safety’s sake,” the 81-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer says. The superbug MRSA, a stroke, double pneumonia—she’s bested them all. Her husband and long-time manager died in 2017. “I’d give anything if I could keep it up,” the Oklahoma native says. “It’s all I’ve ever done.”
