Rod Stewart has announced that “that’ll probably be it” after his next UK tour in 2027.
The veteran rocker, who turned 81 in January, has been touring for more than 60 years, including during his years with the Faces and the Jeff Beck Group.
He has been on his One Last Time farewell tour since 2024, including a show at Glastonbury last summer.
Stewart has 20 or so dates remaining in the US this year, and in a new interview with TalkSport, he looked ahead to next year, hinting that he is considering calling it a day after one last UK run.
“Then I’m touring the UK next year, and that’ll probably be it, I think,” the Maggie May singer shared. “I’ll have to do something new, come on your show more often, maybe.”
He has not yet announced any dates for 2027.
In 2024, Stewart said he was done with “large-scale world tours”, saying his 2025 run of arena shows would be his last, although he did add at the time that he had “no desire to retire”.
“I love what I do, and I do what I love,” he said at the time. “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 also confessed that while he accepted his “days are numbered” as he neared his 80th birthday in 2025, “I’ve got no fear.”
“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.”
