I get the feeling that he's just chugging along still doing it because the demand is still there. It's more a revenue source than a passion. When the last album was released initially he announced he was going to have a set list very heavily concentrated on the new material, with a half dozen or so of the best known oldies thrown in at the end of the show. He did a few shows like that, then ticket sales for the next leg of the tour were very sluggish, because people want to go to a show and hear as many of the best known oldies tunes as possible. He publicly announced he was going back to a set list heavy on the hits and light on the new material, and ticket sales rebounded.
I imagine from his standpoint it has to be both boring as fuck playing those same hits over and over again along with most of those hits being 20 to 30 years old and originally sung in a range he just can't reach anymore.
