Walter Williams, one of the founders of The O’Jays, is pushing 76 years of age. However, he’s still making his way to the stage for the following reason.
You know when music is in your bones, it’s down to the marrow. Yet, sometimes, you just don’t feel up to it.
As you know, a few years ago, Walter let the public know about his fight with multiple sclerosis. It’s no easy feat to get up there on stage at his age, especially while dealing with those complications.
Actually, according to Miami Herald, the group is possibly on its last tour right now. “After 61 years, 15 gold and platinum records and a 2005 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the O’Jays are calling it quits,” the source mentions.
Nevertheless…
Walter Williams presses forward with the group. In an interview with DJ Kut, the legendary singer momentarily touches on the topic.
