Rod Stewart's major career announcement
Rod Stewart has made a major career announcement.
The legendary rocker has revealed that he's stepping away from "large-scale" tours, as he embraces a new chapter of his life.
Stewart took to Instagram to share his career update, announcing that while he has "no desire to retire" he plans to step away from the large-scale tours to do more intimate shows.
“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” he wrote in the post.
“I love what I do, and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.
“I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not…”
Many of his fans were supportive of his decision to take it slow and do more intimate shows.
“You do you Rod – you have been entertaining us for decades – you deserve all the best things in life,” one wrote.
“Love you always I love your music forever and ever. You are the rock legend, the best. If you love what you do, don’t stop doing it.”
“Do whatever suits you Rod, only you know your limits. You will always be the best,” commented another.
“Wishing you the best no matter what you do," wrote a third.
The rocker has previously hinted in an interview with the Daily Record that he would be taking a break from touring, in 2022 when he said that he wanted "to do something new".
