Suzi Quatro, 76, will keep rocking until her standards slip

Suzi Quatro, 76, releases album Freedom and says she will retire only when she can no longer perform to her standard.

Rock legend Suzi Quatro is still delivering. At 76, she has released a new album called Freedom, with a cover of MC5's Kick Out the Jams alongside Alice Cooper.

When asked if she would rock forever, Quatro gave her answer plainly: she will retire when she goes on stage and cannot meet her own standard. Quatro has made this her final word on the subject.

Quatro reflected on Detroit in the 1960s, when Motown shared the city with raw rock and roll groups like hers, Alice Cooper's, and MC5. She recalled a moment when the PA blew during a show and she and the drummer improvised a 15-minute solo together, turning a crisis into part of the performance.
