50s heartthrob Pat Boone shows he’s still got what it takes at 90 as he rocks bright yellow Nikes for trip to town
He just turned 90, but age doesn’t stop veteran singer Pat Boone from wearing the flashiest shoes in town.
While visiting Beverly Hills, the ’50s star wore bright yellow Nikes to complete his casual look.
The visit came a month after Boone released his politically charged song Where Did American Go? — which he describes as a conservative version of Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind.
He wore an aqua blue shirt with dark blue buttons and a dark undershirt, and comfortable, loose gray pants. He wore a pair of bright yellow Nike tennis shoes and a gold chain and bracelet.

The elderly singer, who was Elvis Presley’s biggest rival in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll and is known for songs such as Love Letters in the Sand, looked cheerful as photographers snapped his picture, a broad smile on his face.

Ultra-conservative Boone is back in the news after the release of his new single, which he calls a “wake-up call” for the country.
The classic American song with guitar playing and an old country sound was released after Boone became concerned about the ‘divided country’.
“I’m very concerned,” he told his fans on FacebookAre you as concerned about our country as I am?
“I don’t see how America can go on like this,” he continued. “I just felt like I had to do something, like my friend Bob Dylan did when we were in a similar state of confusion. I started feeling a song.”
The lyrics of the song are as follows: “Where has America gone / The land of the brave and the free / Can one generation erase a great country? / ‘Cause we can’t find a way to agree.”
Last month, Boone released a brand new song called Where Did America Go?, a politically charged track that he called a “wake-up call” for the country. “I’m very concerned,” he told fans on Facebook. “Are you as concerned about our country as I am?

Boone also stood up for other artists who were canceled for making political statements.
Last year, Boone told Jason Aldean to ignore critics who called his Small Town music video a controversy.
Aldean’s song was criticized for interweaving clips of BLM protesters destroying cities with lyrics endorsing traditional values.
Boone called the efforts to cancel Aldean sick, telling Fox News, “It’s become sick, I can’t believe it’s country music. I think of Trace Adkins, and of course a lot of his songs were very supportive of standing up to the enemies of America.
Pat is still making ends meet despite his advanced years. On August 20, he attended the premiere of the film Reagan at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and on July 15, he attended a book signing for Carol Connors’ Elvis, Rocky and Me.
Pat was one of the biggest heartthrobs of the 50s and 60s. He and his wife Shirley married when they were both only 19 and remained happily together until her death in 2019.

“What we fail to take into account is that many of our enemies are in our own homes, in our own country, and in our own streets.”
During the Fox interview, he also held up a Colt-44 that was given to him by his grandfather, Pritchard. He told host Jesse Watters that it’s exactly the type of weapon families use to defend themselves.
Boone continued: “It’s just sick for anyone, whether it’s country music or not, to take a stand against us standing up for our own rights.
“It’s just a moral disease. I can’t believe anyone would criticize Jason.”
