Its the invasion of the geriatric rockers! I heard on tv tonight that Paul Stanley of KISS has had a hip replacement recently. So apparently has Mick Mars of Motley Crue. And Eddie Van Halen had one a few years back. Too much stage jumping? Or could it be a health problem they all share? My cousin has had to have work done on his hips, and I assume in his case its a genetic thing given his relatively young age, aggrevated by years working construction. Interestingly Mars is supposedly 52, so he was no spring chicken when the Crue first came to fame in the early '80s.
