Bob Seger turns 76 today, but don’t expect any sort of public celebration. He’s kept largely out of sight since his Roll Me Away farewell tour wrapped in November 2019 and his social-media platforms do little beyond promoting vinyl reissues of his old albums, though he did pop up unexpectedly on The Simpsons back in March.
Fans did have plenty of chances to say goodbye. He played 71 shows on the farewell tour over the course of a year, mixing classic hits like “Hollywood Nights,” “Turn the Page,” and “Night Moves...

The tragic news came down on December 30th that Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band sax player Alto Reed died at the age of 72 after a battle with stage 4 colon cancer.
“Alto has been a part of our musical family, on and off stage, for nearly 50 years,” Seger said in a statement. “I first starting playing with Alto in 1971. He was amazing. He could play just about anything…he was funky, could scat, and play tenor sax and alto sax at the same time.”

Alto Reed, who played saxophone for multiplatinum Bob Seger’s Silver Bullet Band for nearly half a century, died Wednesday of colon cancer. He was 72.
Seger posted a note about his “lifelong friend and bandmate” on social media: “He was amazing – he could play just about anything,” he wrote. “In our band, he was the rock star.” Read the full post below.
Born Thomas Cartmell in Detroit in 1948, Reed was known for his showmanship onstage and his signature sax riff on “Turn the Page.” He first started playing with Seger in the early 1970s, played on its Back in ’72 albums and joined the band for its first headlining arena shows at Detroit’s Cobo Hall. By 1974, he was a full-fledged member of the Silver Bullet Band, which was about to break nationally with “Live” Bullet (1976), which was recorded at Cobo Hall and featured a scorching version of the Reed-fueled “Turn...

Bob Seger is just one day away from wrapping up the 2019 leg of his Roll Me Away farewell tour, which has been billed as the final series of shows he’ll ever play in North America. The Detroit icon is 74 and had to cut his 2017 tour short to undergo major spinal surgery, but it was clearly a success because he’s played 63 arena gigs this year and, judging by his incredible show at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, he remains in stellar shape.

Bob Seger summed up the staying power of a 50-plus-year career by the second song of his Nashville concert on Friday night: “Still the Same.” The 1978 single was the de facto theme of what the Michigan rocker has dubbed his Travelin’ Man Final Tour, as Seger delivered a 22-song set of classics and deeper cuts with a workingman’s conviction and ethic. At 73, he remains a vibrant elder statesman of rock & roll.
