I think if Michael Jackson were alive today, he'd be 60 years old and not too many 60 year olds are in the spotlight except for Madonna but I'm pretty sure he'd be making at least one more album.

Absolutely. Age isn't everything. Many artists who've stood the test of time tend to stick to their usual musical styles.

I'm going to say Elvis Presley if he was alive today he'd most likely be retired but I doubt at his age he'd be making more music.

He would have turned 88 in January. Maybe he would have recorded new material, but not recently.

I have always imagined he would be singing slow ballads/songs like Tony Bennett does now.

Same here, maybe slow love ballads would be the way to go at his age.

If Elvis were still alive, he'd probably he like Wayne Newton. He doesn't record new material/albums, but he still performs on stage in his own venue in Vegas. Though I would hope Elvis wouldn't still be performing in those sequined jump suits lol

I think have John Lennon had remained alive he would have gone in something of a punky, freaky direction, judging from the WILD guitar solo he did on Yoko's "Walking On Thin Ice", the last thing he worked on before he was killed. The song was a top 40 hit for Yoko in 1981 and was nominated for a Grammy for best female rock vocal. (I don't think that category exists anymore, but it did back then). Maybe after that he would have gone in yet another direction, in fact I'm SURE he would have, but it's hard to say what. But in the immediate aftermath of 1980 he likely would have done something punky and freaky.

I wonder about Janis Joplin if she hadn't killed herself with drugs, you kind of wonder as to what kind of music she'd be making today?
