The Zimmers is a British band, thought to have the oldest members of any band in the world. The oldest member (Buster Martin) claimed to have been born in 1906, although some sources indicate he was born in 1913 – he died in 2011. The former lead singer Alf Carretta died on 29 June 2010, aged 93. The group takes its name from the ''Zimmer frame'' (walker). The band was created as a feature in a BBC Television documentary, which was first broadcast on 28 May 2007. The feature of forming the band and recording a single was intended to give a voice to the feelings of isolation and imprisonment suffered by the elderly. The Zimmers' logo is a parody of The Beatles' logo, as is the image of them walking across Abbey Road. On 7 April 2012, the band performed the Beastie Boys' "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" on ''Britain's Got Talent''. The band toured live in 2013, performing in Warrington on 25 May. It is currently working on several new songs and videos. ==Discography== The Zimmers released their first single, a cover of The Who's "My Generation", reaching #26 in the UK Singles Chart, on 28 May 2007. The song was produced by Mike Hedges, the video shot by Geoff Wonfor, and it was recorded in the Beatles Studio 2 at Abbey Road. On during the 13 July 2007 broadcast of the ''Richard & Judy'' show, The Zimmers announced their cover of The Prodigy's "Firestarter". In September 2008, the band released their first full-length album ''Lust for Life'', which featured versions of songs by Eric Clapton, The Beatles and Frank Sinatra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Zimmers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
