Ian Gillan has defnitely lost the ability to scream or hit the high notes in songs like Child in Time but he still manages to sing quite decently on other less strenuous songs for his age.
Vocal chords wear out with age, as do other parts of the human body,....also factor in the extreme abuse that rock singers subject their vocal chords to (and not mention smoking, both tobacco and other forms of smokables as well as hard liqueur, most of them do or did), it's no wonder these guys can't sing any more.
I'm thinking Paul Rodgers also still sounds remarkably good; least the last time I heard him... 'bout 2 years ago.
ooh yeeeeeeeeeees! to all the above I agree
