Considering the fact that Rod Stewart<\/strong>‘s newly announced 2025 tour is called One Last Time, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s farewell trek. Well, it is, and it isn’t.<\/p>\n

Sir Rod writes on Instagram<\/a>, “This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire. I love what I do and I do what I love.”<\/p>\n

“I’m fit, have a full head of hair and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79,” he boasts.<\/p>\n

He goes on to explain that, while he wants to continue to perform live, he’s going to do it on a different scale, writing, “I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever<\/em> tour the year after next.”<\/p>\n

Swing Fever<\/em> is Rod’s most recent album: It’s a collaboration with bandleader Jools Holland<\/strong>, featuring Rod singing big band and swing music.\u00a0Great American Songbook<\/em> is, of course, Rod’s wildly successful five-volume series of albums in which he covered standards like “It Had to Be You” and “I’m in the Mood for Love.”<\/p>\n

Rod says this tour would find him playing “smaller venues and more intimacy.” But then, he pivots and concludes, “But then again, I may not.”<\/p>\n

He signed the post, “The Ambiguous Sir Rod Stewart.” So, is it his last tour? Your guess is as good as ours.<\/p>\n
