The music legend made these comments while reflecting on turning 80 next January in a recent interview.
“I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear", he revealed. “We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket".
He continued: “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".
“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 added. “Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show".
Rod Stewart will reach this milestone on January 10 next year.
Back in April, the Scottish singer said that he and his wife Penny Lancaster hope to spend more time in Ireland in the future.
