Gilbert O'Sullivan at 80 on the Road | Waterford News

At 80, Gilbert O’Sullivan is still rocking the stage—six decades into his career, he’s touring with the same passion that launched him as a chart-topping solo star in the ‘70s. Once outselling Elton John and Bowie, his “freakish” look may have cost him mainstream cool, but his songwriting earned him timeless respect. From legal battles with his manager to suing Biz Markie over sampling, he’s always stood by his principles. Now, his new album “On the Record” and hit “Growing Old Disgracefully” reflect on aging gracefully—and defiantly—in a world that keeps changing. Artists like Morrissey and Paul Weller still revere him; he’s proof that talent outlasts trends. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
