Will Smith (who began as half the duo 'DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince' in 1985, at age 17). He hasn't done much music performing lately, but he's still active and popular as an actor.

U2
INXS (I think that they should have stopped after Michael died but then that's just me)
Tears For Fears
Duran Duran (They're missing Andy Taylor but that's okay)
The Cars
Guns N Roses (Axl and his band of rotating musicians as I like to call them)
Spandau Ballet
Loverboy (Yes Loverboy is still at it even without Scott Smith)
