Rod Stewart says he's in 'last few years' as he shares end of life plans

Rod Stewart has admitted he is in the "last few years" of his life but he is not afraid of dying. The 80-year-old rock star, who recently performed in the legends slot at Glastonbury Festival, frankly shared his thoughts about death and explained just how many years he thinks he has left to live in an interview with The Sun.

Speaking in 2024 and reflecting on turning 80, Rod confessed to the publication: "We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few - probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy."

He added: "I have had a good time and a good life and I've enjoyed myself, so I wouldn't ask for anything more." The Maggie May hitmaker simply wants "good health and good health for his children" and his beloved football team Celtic to do well.

It comes after Rod sparked fury from fans after his "disrespectful" tribute to fellow musician Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025 at the age of 76. Rod's latest US tour dates have featured an AI video showing Ozzy snapping selfies in heaven with other late stars.

While dedicating his track Forever Young to Ozzy, Rod lit up the stadium with a video showing Ozzy meeting Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain and Tina Turner - but fans are fuming over the "lazy" move.

One slammed the tribute: "This is the craziest most disrespectful sh** I ever saw in my life." Another said: "That AI video has been circulating since the day he passed. There is just something creepy about these AI videos."

Somebody else said: "Ah yes, AI necromancy. That's what the world needs."

While a fourth said: "Great to pay tribute, but to do it with one of these creepy and obviously inauthentic AI videos is lazy and in poor taste."
