In a new interview with The Sun, the “Maggie May” singer opened up about feeling like he’s entering the final stages of life at age 79, but he refuses to slow down just yet.
“I’m aware my days are numbered, but I’ve got no fear,” Stewart, who’s in the midst of his Las Vegas residency and scheduled to tour the world through February 2025, told the outlet.
“We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket,” the British artist said. “I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can… I say few — probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”
Stewart admittedly doesn’t party as hard as he once did. “Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show,” he explained. “The older you get, the more you have to do that. Water has a hell of a lot to do with it. But no, you think I just have water on my rider?”
At the end of the day, the “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” performer still likes to have a good time. “You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show. There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians, and I make them drink,” said Stewart. “We absolutely love it.”
The husband of Penny Lancaster and father of eight recently pivoted away from the rock genre to release a new swing album, aptly titled Swing Fever, with Jools Holland in February.
