Rod Stewart, 80, Still Rocking and Feeling Fulfilled: “I’ve Done It All”
Legendary rocker Rod Stewart, whose hits have been making hearts flutter for decades, recently shared a profound sense of contentment at 80 years old. The iconic “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” singer, still actively performing and creating new music, revealed to People magazine that he has no “bucket list” of unfulfilled ambitions.
“I’ve done it all,” Stewart stated, reflecting on a career spanning over half a century. When asked about potential performances at major events like a World Cup or Super Bowl, he expressed a lack of interest, adding, “I’ve done Glastonbury, so I’m happy.”
But a full life doesn’t mean a quiet one for Stewart. The crooner confirmed he’s “supposed to be doing a country album” and is “halfway through doing an original album.” Fans can also look forward to his return to a Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in May 2026, building on successful stints there earlier this year.
Despite his extensive achievements, Stewart’s passion for his craft remains undimmed. “I still enjoy what I’m doing.
I love it,” he affirmed, adding, “You can tell it’s written all over my face. Absolutely love it.”
While acknowledging that “all things have to come to an end,” Stewart’s comments weren’t a hint at impending retirement. Instead, he emphasized his satisfaction, stating he’s “very happy with my achievements thus far,” suggesting there’s still more music and touring on the horizon.
Indeed, his “One Last Time” international tour continues through the end of the year, with scheduled performances in Mexico, Argentina, Europe, and Dubai. Early next year, Stewart will play a handful of shows across the United States in February, followed by his brief Las Vegas engagement and then further dates in Spain and Italy.
Fans widely share in Stewart’s joy and continued success. Many express admiration for his enduring spirit, with sentiments echoing a desire for such fulfillment in their own lives.
Others, perhaps playfully, suggest he might still benefit from keeping at least one item on a hypothetical bucket list, just for good measure. Regardless, the “Maggie May” star’s journey shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
