ROD STEWART SAYS HE'S AWARE HIS 'DAYS ARE NUMBERED'

Rod Stewart Says He’s Aware His ‘Days Are Numbered’

In a recent interview with The Sun, rock legend Rod Stewart, who will turn 80 in January 2025, confessed that he believes his days are numbered.

“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” Stewart said. “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 – probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”

The singer added, “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 revealed in 2019 that he’d beaten prostate cancer. “No one knows this, but I thought it was about time I told everybody,” he said then. “I’m in the clear now, simply because I caught it early. I had so many tests.”

According to a report in February this year, the singer had sold his back catalogue for close to $100million (£79.3million) following a deal with Irving Azoff’s Iconic Artists.

In a statement to the The Wall Street Journal, Stewart said of the deal, “Irving and I are a couple of old-timers and I believe we have a mutual respect and admiration for each other. My life’s work is in safe hands with him.”
