‘70s Rock Legend, 86, Stuns Fans With His Ageless Voice
David Freiberg, 86, has a singing voice that defies time.
A founding member of ’70s rock sensations Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship, Freiberg co-wrote one of the band’s biggest hits, Jane. At a recent Jefferson Starship performance celebrating the band's 50th anniversary, the 86-year-old showcased his ageless voice, which left fans stunned and in awe.
Video of the performance shows Freiberg effortlessly moving about the stage, belting out the famous lyrics to Jane, which were originally sung by Mickey Thomas. The 1979 rock hit is filled with high-energy riffs, sung in a high register that channels the song’s emotion and intensity. Freiberg hits every note, his voice scaling to the top of his register, with flawless ease.
Freiberg’s vocals left fans in awe (honestly, us too). He sounds like he’s back in 1979, with the voice of a much younger man. It’s a stunning performance worth watching over and over again.
Commenters quickly got to work, complimenting Freiberg’s vocals. One wrote, “To sing like that at his age is truly rare and fabulous,” while another shared, “Wow.”
