It is a sentiment heard all too often by Horace Trubridge assistant general secretary of the UK's Musicians' Union, who argued that nobody ever became a musician to make money.
"You do it because you love it and it's what you want to do," he added.
"But you need good musicians to create the music we all love and unless they are not rewarded, unless they can't pay the bills, they'll drift out of it."
It may be a worrying prospect.
However with the Rolling Stones saying another tour next year is "very likely", there seems little chance of Sir Mick and company drifting away from the spotlight just yet.
