In an apt manner, Sir Rod Stewart posted a photo of him as a young, eager boy to celebrate his 80th birthday, reminiscent of the song he became known for, “Forever Young.

The artist shared on Instagram a monochrome picture that depicted him as a youthful kid, nestled on a pile of sand with a pail, by the seashore.

The 79-year-old wrote: ‘From the streets of North London to the world stage, it all started here.’

As a devoted admirer, I found myself mirroring the charisma of this worldwide sensation, who gazed intently into the lens, elegantly attired in a coordinated ensemble consisting of shorts, a top, and a sleeveless sweater.

This week, the artist who became famous for “Maggie May” celebrates his 80th birthday. More recently, he admitted that his days may be limited, yet expressed no fear regarding the inevitability of death.

The Glastonbury Festival revealed that Stewart will take the Pyramid stage during the ‘legends’ time-slot on Sunday, making him one of the most senior artists to perform in this slot.

The performer who’s known for “Handbags and Gladrags” started a new Las Vegas residency in August, marking the beginning of his final one, yet assured fans that he’d keep on singing and celebrating well into his 90s.

He mentioned: “I understand that my time is limited, but I’m not afraid. Eventually, everyone has to leave this world, so we’re all in the same situation.

For the next several years, I plan to make the most of my time and live life to the fullest. I estimate I have about 15 more years left. That shouldn’t be a problem for me; it should be a piece of cake.

He acknowledged: “I’m not as I used to be in the ’70s and ’80s; I can no longer stay up all night, drink excessively, act recklessly, and maintain a voice like before.

‘Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show.

However, it seems you believe I merely have sweat from the performance. Let me clarify, that’s not water on my brow – it’s Rod Stewart! After each concert, we let loose and get wild.

Here are thirteen of us, six of whom are exceptionally talented female musicians. I’m the one who ensures we all have our favorite drinks, and it’s something we all thoroughly enjoy together.

Reflecting on a heartfelt tribute, I took to Instagram yesterday to honor my cherished friend and musical collaborator, Richard Perry, who left us at the age of 82. This iconic music producer played an instrumental role in shaping my career and leaving a lasting impact on the world of music.

It has been reported by Associated Press that Richard, who had a 8-year relationship with Jane Fonda and was the producer of Rod Stewart’s The Great American Songbook album, passed away due to cardiac arrest, as confirmed by his close friend Daphna Kastner.

Stewart shared that he and his wife Penny Lancaster, aged 53, whom he wed in 2007, were deeply saddened by some unfortunate news, causing them both to weep.

In a heartfelt message, Stewart expressed: “Dear Richard, it’s time to part ways, my valued friend. It’s said that a person is fortunate to have a handful of genuine friends throughout their life, and you undoubtedly fall into that category.

Currently, my spirits are deeply saddened as I find myself without your presence. For countless years, we were not just colleagues but partners in both play and work, producing music that will forever be etched in our memories.

You supported us from the very beginning of our dating journey with Penny, helping our relationship grow. As I write this goodbye, we’re both shedding tears.

You cheered us on at the start of our romantic journey with Penny, fostering our bond. We’re both emotional as I share this farewell message.
