Trick to staying YOUNG, as I always said... SEX with 14 year olds, Not paying TAXES, and dealling COCAINE !!! CHUCK HAS DONE ALL 3 !!! Keys to a long successful life !!! well not that successful, he's only had 1 hit after 1959, to think he hasn't had ONE NUMBER ONE SONG since he was 36...well when you create a GENRE, guess you don't have to continue writing music or making albums
I am glad that nobody filmed how Johnny Guitar Watson died on stage because some morons would have uploaded it, too, like Chuck Berry's collaps now. Wonder how these sensation-hungry people (who upload this kind of videos) would feel if someone filmed their collaps (or the collaps of their parents & grand-parents) and put it on Youtube?!
I haven't heard of dedication to music like this since Keith Moon threw himself at his drum kit repeatedly till he collapsed from horse tranquilizers. The comments in this video say it all really, No one blames him for cutting the show and the songs short. He knew when he walked out on that stage that he was in bad shape but he did it anyway. I think his apology says he did it for us and the music. I'll be sorry to see him pack it up, but I could never blame him for it.
i was sitting on the side of the while this was happening. He seemed extremely fatigued all night, and didn't play for very long at all, but it was still incredible to see a living legend.
he is a real rocker but now it's time for Chuck to stop playing live. I've seen chuck on stage a long time ago now but his actuals performances are really bad.
Respect total pour cet immense artiste. Tel un capitaine du rock dont il porte la casquette, il veut finir sa vie debout sur le pont, une guitare à la main !
I saw him for two ½ year ago in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam together with Jerry Lee Lewis, two icons of Rock and Roll ! But dying in the harness should not be the finest way of dying.
But he is alive and kicking thank God ! Walking like a duck, keep going
It's OK Chuck. You've loved us for over 55 years, we'll love you back for 55 more! How many "original" rockers are still on stage at 84 today? Not many!
All the jumping, straddling of the guitar, wild movements you see rock guitarists use, well, Chuck was doing that in the 1940's. He was one of the early innovators of a style that people use and we see so often, we take it for granted and think it started with them. Nah, it was Chuck Berry who led the way, and paved the path. And don't let me start on Screamin' Jay Hawkins!
I hope I can have that kind of spirit and humor when I'm 84, it's a fine tribute to the man that he came back to explain to the crowd what was going on and he made an effort, many wouldn't, not sure if he should have been allowed to play in the first place because he clearly is not 100% but if he wanted to then I suppose there was nothing really they could do to prevent him from trying.
Stay with us Chuck. It don't matter if your ting-a-ling don't ting-a-ling no more. Just stay healthy and stay with us.

He might be 84 years old, but he's made an awful lot of girls long to be Sweet Little Sixteen in this world. God Bless you, Chuck. And thank you.
