SAD NEWS: Rod Stewart’s fans are all furious since he told them that…
The “Maggie May” singer revealed in a recent interview with The Sun that, despite being 79 years old, he feels as though his life is coming to an end, but he isn’t going to slow down just yet.
“I know my days are limited, but I don’t feel afraid,” Stewart told the publication. He is currently doing a world tour that will take him through February 2025. Stewart is currently doing a residency in Las Vegas.
The British artist remarked, “We are all in the same basket because we have to pass on at some point.” “I’m going to make the most of these final few years of my life—I say few because there are possibly still 15 to go. I’m sure I can handle that, buddy.
In this rare photo, Rod Stewart is seen with three of his sons and is as “proud as a father could possibly be.”

Stewart acknowledges that he doesn’t party as much as he used to. “Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show,” he said. “You have to do that more and more as you age. It is heavily influenced by water. You believe that I simply have water on my rider, though?”
The “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” performer still enjoys having fun at the end of the day. “Hey, buddy, you’re speaking with Rod Stewart. After every show, we lose our minds. Six of the thirteen of us are incredible musicians, and I get them to drink,” Stewart remarked. “We absolutely love it.”
My blood was boiling, and Rod Stewart helped me deal with the “inferno” of menopause, according to Penny Lancaster, my wife.

The father of eight children and Penny Lancaster’s spouse recently left the rock world to collaborate with Jools Holland on a brand-new swing record, appropriately named Swing Fever, which was released in February.
With the exception of his scheduled shows and his upcoming UK tour with Holland, Stewart told the publication he had “not really made my mind up in terms of what’s next.”
“I’m simply savoring the moment. I’ll carry on in this manner. There is plenty of time for that, but I’m very sure they would welcome me back if I indicated I wanted to,” he remarked. “I absolutely love the place.”

Stewart talked on his healthy relationship with Lancaster, whom he married in 2007, at other points in the interview. “I’m an erstwhile romantic. We still have a lot of love for one another and like having dinners by candlelight,” he remarked.
“My top tips to keep the romance alive is being honest with each other and talking things through,” said Stewart. That, along with not fighting right before bed after consuming a lot of wine. Penny is very remarkable. An absolutely wonderful woman.
