Sir Rod Stewart: ‘My days are numbered’<\/p>\n
\nThe legendary singer will turn 80 in January 2025 and says he has no fear of death but he is determined to enjoy himself while he can.<\/p>\n
\nHe told The Sun newspaper: “I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear. We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few \u2014 probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”<\/p>\n
\nAnd, while Rod admitted he can’t party like he used to, he admitted he still enjoys plenty of wild nights out with his band.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “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. <\/p>\n
\n“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?<\/p>\n
\n“You\u2019re 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. We absolutely love it.<\/p>\n
\n“Before the show I have a quick Bacardi which I am trying to convince myself is good for my voice.<\/p>\n
\n“After a show we all get stuck into the Martinis. Most bands all go home and go to bed but we don\u2019t. We have a big old party.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he is definitely more health conscious than he was in the past, after battling both prostate and thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “I am more aware of my health now than before. You should be when you start \u00acgetting on a bit. It\u2019s very important.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI am a bit of a hypochondriac. I think men in particular should take advantage of all the wonderful \u00acmedical science out there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
