Not long after he said<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in a recent interview that he knew his days were numbered, Rod Stewart<\/strong> had to postpone or cancel several shows due to strep throat and COVID-19. But Rod, 79, assures fans that he’s fine and he’s not secretly suffering from any health problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun,<\/strong><\/em><\/a> Rod clarifies, “I appear to have been grossly misunderstood in that\u00a0interview. When I said, \u2018My days are numbered,\u2019 it was purely in jest. Aren\u2019t everybody\u2019s days numbered? I am in embarrassingly wonderful health and enjoying life to the full. I am not dying as far as I know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rod then repeats something else he said in the first interview: he’s training to attempt to break the world record for the 100-meter dash for a man his age. On top of that, he reiterates that he works out three or four times a week and adds, “I have completed over 70 shows this year all over the world and more to do.”<\/p>\n

The singer continues, \u201cI have a beautiful wife, eight children and three grandchildren. Life is good and I have a lot of life to live but I could still get knocked down by a number nine bus in the Charing Cross Road next week.\u00a0All our days are numbered, but we just don\u2019t know when.\u201d<\/p>\n

He calls the show cancellations “extremely unfortunate,” but notes that he’s already made up two of them and he’ll be back in Las Vegas next year.<\/p>\n
