The 79-year-old Sir Rod Stewart has stated that he has no immediate plans to retire, but he will no longer be embarking on extensive world tours.
In recent months, the well-liked musician has made news for claiming that he and Penny Lancaster’s marriage had reached a “stalemate” and that potholes may force him to give up sports automobiles.
The “Sailing” singer used X/Twitter to provide fans with an update on his health, but he also revealed that his extensive globe tours would soon be coming to a stop.
“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. I love what I do, and I do what I love,” said Stewart.
“I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly age of 79.”
Stewart added, “I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook Swing Fever tour the year after next—smaller venues and more intimacy.”
“But then again, I may not…” signing off the statement as “The Ambiguous Sir Rod Stewart.”
Fans have filled the post with messages wishing him well and expressing support for his choice.
“Honey, do what makes you happy!!! I’m so glad I can listen to your songs anytime I want and thrilled I was finally able to see you in concert,” wrote one fan.
“You do you, Rod—you have been entertaining us for decades—you deserve all the best things in life,” another person said.
“Thank you for whatever you’re able to do—and more importantly for everything you’ve shared,” added a third fan.
Earlier this year, Stewart consented to sell Iconic Artists Group the rights to his song collection for about $100 million (£79 million).
Stewart’s discography spans six decades of successful music, including his collaborations with the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces, and contains 10 number-one albums.
The Beach Boys, Cher, David Crosby, Linda Ronstadt, and Dean Martin are among the musicians whose back catalog Iconic Music Group, formed by music industry entrepreneur Irving Azoff, has acquired in recent years.
“Irving and I are a couple of old-timers and I believe we have mutual respect and admiration for each other,” Stewart told the Wall Street Journal. “My life’s work is in safe hands with him.”
