“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear,” he expressed during a recent interview with The Sun. “We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket.”
While very much in touch with his own mortality, Stewart isn’t letting it keep him from full embracing whatever life he has left to live — at least another 15 years if you ask him.
“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,” he expressed before detailing how he’s recently been more mindful about his health.
“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 shared. “Nowadays, I have to protect my voice before and after every show.”
Fans can currently catch that voice in Las Vegas as Stewart is in the midst of his Rod Stewart: The Hits residency at Caesars Palace through August 7. Find tickets here.
