Max disappeared from view due to ill health, and there are probably many others in a similar position. Old stagers like Bruce Forsyth (84) are the exception.
A band I used to play in regularly did a gig at an old people's home in Farnborough, and one year I was surprised to see Arthur English in the audience. Not as big a star as Max; possibly best known for being an 'Are you being served' regular (the cleaner).
