“I Know My Days Are Numbered On Earth"

The 79-year-old rock star Rod Stewart has revealed that he is aware that his “days are numbered,” but he is not living in fear of death.

Addressing US Sun on Friday July 26, the legendary vocalist said:

“We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket”

On the other hand, despite his age, Rod Stewart continues to perform.

“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 rocker, who is married to Penny Lancaster, said.

However he vowed to proceed with his rock star lifestyle. The “Forever Young” artist recognized that he can’t go as hard as he used to in his more youthful 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 endured both prostate and thyroid disease, Stewart said, “I’m more mindful of my health now than previously.”

However, Stewart maintains his professional status even in his old age, declaring that he does not require medication to keep his shows entertaining.

“I’m not on any pills. No nothing. You’ve got to remember I’ve been doing this all my life — I don’t suffer after a show,” he said. “Sometimes I take an anti-inflammatory if my knee is playing up but very rarely. I don’t need pills.”
