Can a lost falsetto be regained

some range is lost simply through aging.
Some of it is simply gone forever.
I used to have the strongest highest falsetto you've ever heard.
Now I'm 61 and I've lost an octave or so. And I sing all the time for my gigs ..... 3-7 nights a week so it's not lack of use. Doubt there's anyway to get much of it back ..... your vocal chords grow thicker with age.

That's true for the most part but there are freaks of nature. Like Gene Watson. He has to be in his late 60's and I heard him sing recently and he sounds exactly like he did in 1975. Not just hitting the notes but the timbre and texture of his voice has lost nothing. ...it is still there at 100%

Examples like that are few and far between though.

Like Paul McCartney....he is losing it. As much as I love that guys voice and songs I think he needs to retire.

yeah but you're right ...... there are a few.
Glenn Hughes is another one and I saw Ted Neeley doing Jesus Christ Superstar and he could just open his mouth and out came those stratospheric notes!
