‘Time of the Season’ Singer, 80, Wows Fans With Ageless Voice: 'Sounds Amazing for His Age' originally appeared on Parade.

Colin Blunstone, lead singer of the 1960s rock band The Zombies, is proving that his iconic voice is timeless. The current iteration of the band, known for their 1968 generation-defining hit "Time of the Season," played a Chicago gig recently, and fans were completely awestruck by Blunstone’s ageless voice.

In video of the Zombies’ Chicago show shared to social media, Blunstone dazzles at 80. Performing an acoustic version of the hit—which has been used in movies and television projects ranging from The Simpsons to Friends—Blunstone hits all the notes as he belts out the legendary 1960s song with nothing more than a guitar and piano backing him up.

“Sounds great for his age. Love that band,” wrote one fan, while another added, “Amazing!”

The original Zombies lineup broke up in 1968 in an effort to go out on top. Blunstone went on to enjoy a successful solo career, with original members Blunstone, Hugh Grundy, and Chris White briefly reuniting from 1989–1999. Various iterations of the band have reunited over the years.

The current lineup includes Blunstone (lead vocals) and Rod Argent (keyboards & vocals), alongside Steve Rodford (drums), Tom Toomey (guitar), and Søren Koch (bass). Argent no longer tours due to health issues related to a stroke, but is still considered an official member of the band.

Tuesday’s Chicago performance was in celebration of the film Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary, a film by director Robert Schwartzman, which can be seen on Apple TV+.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
