 It's not illogical to continue playing after one has scaled to such a
 height in one's career.  It's then that one is likely to be commanding
 the highest amounts of money for performing.  Or maybe it's the roar
 of the crowd, the adulation that provides the incentive to keep going.
 Or the comradery.  You work so hard to get to that point in life,
 why not enjoy it for a while?

 Besides, how does one know when one has reached the pinnacle?
 Great achievements can come later in life.
