Stewart later elaborated on his remark, humorously adding, “I say few — probably another 15 [years],” providing some relief to worried fans. The singer also reflected on how aging had changed his lifestyle, stating that he could no longer stay up all night and get drunk like he did in the ’70s and ’80s while still maintaining his voice.

He emphasized that he now had to protect his voice before and after every show, adding, “The older you get, the more you have to do that.” Despite these changes, Stewart insisted that he still “went mad” with his band and dancers after every performance, encouraging them to drink and celebrate.
