Jay Z won't be touring at 70 like the Rolling Stones

Jay Z has admitted that he probably won't be musically active when he is 70 years old.

The Rolling Stones, who have been touring this year after five decades in the business, are well-known for their immortal energy despite their youngest member being aged 66.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, 43-year-old rapper Jay Z confessed that he won't follow suit and be touring big venues in thirty years time.

However, he said that he wants to leave behind a legacy that allows up and coming musicians to find success more easily. The 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' man said:

"I know I'm not gonna be selling out Yankee Stadium; I'm not doing the Rolling Stones thing at 70."

Jay Z added: "I'm doing all this stuff for the next generation to come in and take advantage of it. So whatever took me 15 years to accomplish, it takes them five years to accomplish. It encourages me that I see this crop of next new legends coming in."
