In a new interview with The Sun, rock legend Rod Stewart revealed that he has come to terms with his own mortality. “I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” the 79-year-old singer shared. “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.” Stewart turns 80 in January, but he still continues to be productive musically, releasing a well-received album, Swing Fever, earlier this year with fellow UK music icon Jools Holland. But Stewart admits that he has toned down his rock lifestyle as he has aged. “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,” he said. “Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show.” (Ultimate Classic Rock)
