19 Sep
Summary
- Quatro, 76, will retire when her performance no longer meets her standards.
- She recalls a chaotic 15-minute drum solo after a PA system failure.
- Scarlett Johansson is considered for a biopic role; Quatro seeks a specific vibe.
Suzi Quatro, at 76, continues to rock, defining her retirement by her performance standards rather than a set age. She humorously recalled a past journalist's question about retirement, stating she would stop only when her body fails her on stage.
Reflecting on her career, Quatro mentioned a chaotic concert moment where a PA system failure led to an impromptu 15-minute drum solo with her drummer. She views such incidents as opportunities to "use" unexpected events to their advantage.
A biopic about her life is currently in the screenplay phase, with Quatro considering Scarlett Johansson for the role. She emphasized the importance of the actress embodying her unique "vibe."
Quatro also discussed her early days in Detroit, the influence of Motown, and the raw energy of bands like MC5. Her latest album is titled 'Freedom,' featuring a cover of MC5's 'Kick Out the Jams' with Alice Cooper.
