Rod Stewart: “My days are numbered”

Rod Stewart Speaking to British newspaper The Sun, he said his “days are numbered.” The musician’s next birthday will be his 80th, on January 10, 2025. In his chat, he said he is not afraid of death and is determined to have fun while he can.

Here are the words of Rod Stewart: “I know my days are numbered, but I’m not afraid.

We all have to die at some point, we are all in this together. I will try to enjoy myself as much as possible in these last few years. I say a few, probably another 15. I can do that easily.”

Rod admits he can’t party like he used to, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy a good night out with his band. “I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s, I can’t stay up all night, get drunk, do crazy things and still have a voice like that. Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show. The older you get, the more you have to. Water has a lot to do with it. But don’t think I only have water on my rider. You’re talking to Rod Stewart. We go crazy after every show. There are thirteen of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We love them. Before the show I have a quick Bacardi which I’m trying to convince myself is good for my voice. After a show we all get stuck with martinis. Most bands go home and go to bed, but not us, we have a big party.”

However, he is definitely more health-conscious than he used to be, after battling both prostate and thyroid cancer. “I’m more health-conscious now than I used to be. You should be when you start to get a little older. It’s very important. I’m a bit of a hypochondriac. I think men should take advantage of all the wonderful medical science that’s out there.”
