Rod Stewart, 79, says he’s aware his ‘days are numbered’: ‘We have all got to pass’
Rod Stewart is spending his golden years in style.
The 79-year-old rock star said he’s aware his “days are numbered,” but he’s not living in fear of death.
“We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket,” Stewart told the US Sun on Friday.
Though he promised to continue his rock star lifestyle, the “Forever Young” singer acknowledged that he can’t go as hard as he used to in his younger years.
“I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s and I can’t stay up all night, get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that. Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show,” Stewart said.
“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? You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show,” he explained.
“There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We absolutely love it.”
Now that he’s survived both prostate and thyroid cancer, Stewart said, “I am more aware of my health now than before.”
