Rod Stewart reflects on his health, reveals ambitious fitness goals, and celebrates his upcoming 80th birthday with an extended bash involving loved ones.
Music legend Rod Stewart has candidly opened up about his health concerns, revealing to fans that he feels his 'days were numbered' ahead of his 80th birthday. As he prepares to celebrate this monumental occasion with his loved ones, the star is still maintaining a busy schedule, including headlining the legendary slot at Glastonbury . Despite health challenges, with recent tour cancellations due to strep throat and Covid-19, Rod maintains, 'I have no desire to retire.
' His wife Penny Lancaster is orchestrating an extended birthday bash, expected to last for weeks, while the couple enjoyed their Christmas at their Palm Beach home, then cruised to the Caribbean to celebrate Rod's big day. Their family time will likely include all eight of Rod's children and his three grandchildren, who playfully refer to him as 'the Rodfather'. Delilah, age 13, along with 19-month-old twins Otis and Louie, are anticipated to be part of the festivities. Ahead of his milestone birthday, Rod has been forthcoming about his health battles and paused his performances while recuperating last year. Rod Stewart opened up about a serious health issue that struck just before his celebrated 200th Las Vegas performance, sharing, 'Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused. Thankfully we'll now be returning in 2025 and I hope to see you all there.', reports the Mirror. After causing alarm among fans with his candid admission, the legendary crooner took a moment to set the record straight in an interview with The Sun: 'When I said 'My days are numbered,' it was purely in jest. Aren't everybody's days numbered? I am in embarrassingly wonderful health and enjoying life to the full. I am not dying as far as I know.' The music icon also divulged his ambitious fitness goals, aiming to set a new world record by sprinting 100 metres in 18 seconds at the age of 79. Preparing fiercely for this challenge, he trains up to four times weekly using his private football pitch, gym, and pool, under the guidance of his trusted personal trainer who has kept him in tip-top shape for 37 years. Penny made a candid revelation about Rod during her appearance on Loose Women in September. While discussing their bold approach to home decor, she shared a surprising fact that left viewers stunned. Describing her vibrant home, filled with leopard print and gold furnishings, Penny explained: 'My husband is colour blind and when we're going he'd go 'darling does this go with this? ' and I'm like 'on you, it does, honey' because I think you're flamboyant and that's your style and it's great.' But like I have a room which is zen, calm. You know I try to create some zen in our mad house! '.
