Rod Stewart, the iconic singer known for hits like “Young Turks” and “This Old Heart of Mine,” has revealed that he plans to take a step back from his high-energy shows as he approaches his ninth decade. The 78-year-old music legend acknowledges that “everything has to come to an end sooner or later.”
While he is set to embark on a tour with Boy George this summer, Rod’s future concerts are likely to showcase him performing alongside a big band. During a recent appearance on BBC Breakfast, host Charlie Stayt marveled at how rock stars are continuing to perform into their older years.
Rod humbly responded, “I am actually stopping. I’m not retiring, but I want to move on. You know, I had great success with the Great American Songbook, performing all those American standards. And I’ve just finished recording an album with Jools Holland, which is scheduled for release next year. So, I want to venture in that direction.”
