He told The Mirror: 'That's a hell of a long time. How do you do that? It's kind of like marriage in a way.'
The musician added to The Sun: 'We had our ups and downs, of course. But in the end we always noticed that we are more creative together.
'And, of course, across these — my God! — six decades, you have got used to each other.
'The special thing about being part of a well-rehearsed group is knowing the others so well that you can predict up to a certain point what is going to happen next. '
