“I would love to keep on doing this but I’ll be 78 in a few more months,” George Clinton informed Rolling Stone in a brand new interview. “Even though I feel like I’m just getting started, the reality is the group needs to go ahead and keep it going. We’ve got a new vibe in the band, and they’ve been carrying it for the last three years. I’ve been up there representing for people, but they’ve actually been turning the place out. And we’ve been selling out for the last five years, every night.”
This May, Parliament-Funkadelic will obtain a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. “As I’m getting ready to get a lifetime achievement award and all of that, there’s so many people that’s been in the band, it’s hard to even pick who all the people are,” Clinton mentioned to RS. “So people won’t get to see a lot of people, but still that award will belong to everybody that’s participated in making the P-Funk what it is. It will be for all the people that’s ever been through the P-Funk army.”
