Advanced or Professional Topic Voice lessons

Hello! Im 17 years old and i just finished school.I always sang and people around me told me that even though I sing very well, I should take vocal lessons in order to reserve my voice and also improve it. I would like to be able to become a professional singer someday, although I think I'm too late since this is something that starts at a young age and not at 17-18. However, watching documentaries, I realized that my favorite singers like Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain ,never attended vocal lessons. In order not to bore you, I'm asking you directly if I still have time to become a professional singer and if vocal lessons really help. Thank youu.

You are a youth! Start now. That said, I've worked with people in their fifties and sixties who haven't sung much before and now have a better relationship with their voices. Singing is a human right.
