Ian Anderson Eyes the Clock as Jethro Tull Marches On at 78

Ian Anderson, the flute-wielding anchor of JETHRO TULL, braces against the weight of time, candidly reflecting on the growing strain of commanding a stage at nearly 78. He navigates a full-length concert not with theatrical bravado, but with measured calculation and frequent glances at the limits of human stamina.

In conversation with Phil Aston of Now Spinning Magazine, Anderson speaks not in lament but pragmatism, folding the importance of early medical detection into the rhythm of his routines—less as a health crusader, more as a man reading the fine print of aging rock stardom.
