At 74, Suzi Quatro doesn’t just perform—she commands the stage like she was born on it.✨ But the real story?

She didn’t know she was breaking ground—until legends like Joan Jett and Debbie Harry told her she did. Now, she’s still strutting out in that iconic jumpsuit, still slinging the bass, still proving rock’n’roll never asks permission.
