If it wasnt for making this record, I would still be on traction, thinking, Im going to be lying here forever,\’\” the 71-year-old rocker previously confessed. \”Ive missed music so badly. My fans are so loyal and so good. Up until making the album, I thought I was dying. But that got me off my arse. … Its the greatest album Ive done. Ordinary Man notably includes some high-profile collaborations, including Elton John, Guns N Roses Slash and Duff McKagan and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
