- The Zimmers are a British band, thought to have the oldest members in the world: the lead singer, Alf, is 90, and the oldest member, Buster, is 102. They take their name from the Zimmer frame (the British name for a walking frame). 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. In September 2008, the band released its first full-length album 'Lust for Life', featuring cover versions of songs by Eric Clapton, The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.

I membri del gruppo, infatti, sono tutti persone dall'età media che si avvicina ai 70 anni, e spesso li supera abbondantemente, come nel caso del novantenne cantante Alf Carretta. Il nome "The Zimmers" deriva da zimmer frame, il nome usato nel Regno Unito per indicare quello strumento che serve alle persone anziane o disabili per sostenersi mentre camminano. Esso prende il nome dall'azienda produttrice, la Zimmer.
