In a recent interview with the US Sun, legendary rock star Rod Stewart opened up about his perspective on aging and his plans for the future. At 79 years old, Stewart acknowledged that he is aware his "days are numbered," but he is determined not to live in fear of death.

Embracing his golden years with a positive outlook, Stewart expressed his intention to enjoy himself as much as possible during the remaining time he has. "I say few - probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy," the rocker confidently shared. Married to Penny Lancaster, Stewart emphasized that he would continue his rock star lifestyle, although he admitted that he couldn't push himself to the same extent as he did in his younger years.

Reflecting on his earlier rock and roll lifestyle filled with all-nighters and heavy drinking, Stewart shared that he now takes precautions to protect his voice before and after every show. Water plays a significant role in this regimen, which he humorously mentioned during the interview. "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, highlighting his vibrant energy.

After overcoming prostate and thyroid cancer, Stewart emphasized the newfound importance of health awareness. "When you start getting on a bit, you should be more aware of your health. It's very important," he stated. Admitting to being a bit of a hypochondriac, Stewart encouraged men, in particular, to take advantage of medical advancements available. He shared his intention to have his blood cleaned, noting it as a real boost to the system, upon his return to the UK.

Despite his growing age, Stewart made it clear that he remains a seasoned professional on stage and does not rely on medication to deliver captivating performances. "I'm not on any pills. No nothing," he asserted confidently. While he occasionally takes an anti-inflammatory for knee pains, Stewart expressed that he rarely needs any form of medication. His years of experience and passion for his craft continue to drive his ability to entertain audiences.

With his mix of charm, talent, and a vivacious spirit, Rod Stewart continues to inspire fans around the world. As he makes the most out of his golden years, he serves as a reminder that age should not be a barrier to living life to the fullest.
