I didn't know how to name this thread but i wanted to talk about aging musicians and in which points in their career they have peaked or declined.
I find that as musicians get older most of them loose that creative spark they once had when younger while others mature for the better as an artist but this happens very rarely.

In fact the only artist imo that got better with age was John lennon which sadly got shot so we'll never know if his talent would've declined or gotten better but apart from him atm i can't think of any other artist that has gotten better with age, can you?

Knowing where talent comes from is a mystery but you can trace where it peaks and declines and most times they decline after they get older and can't keep up creatively with their earlier work, do you guys think this inevitable?

To me it always seems that it is only young musicians that change the game.
It's hard to pinpoint at what age exactly most of them peak but i would say most were 40 or under
