“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me,” he stated in a previous post, “But I have no desire to retire.”
He continued: “I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.” Stewart also hinted at future plans, including a possible “Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour,” envisioning more intimate venues and performances.
“But then again, I may not…” he playfully concluded, signing off as “The Ambiguous Sir Rod Stewart.”
Fans responded with overwhelming support and anticipation, eager to revisit his beloved classics and celebrate the enduring career of this iconic artist. Many expressed plans to upgrade their collections. One fan even noted how the album’s release would coincide with their birthday.
