"I could never turn my back on the songs that I've written and sung over the last six decades. He continued, "During recent interviews, I've mentioned my newest passion is big band/swing music and when we wrap this greatest hits tour, it's something I'm very eager to share with you." I'll be playing the hits as advertised for the UK, US, South America, and Vegas and into 2024 but no retirement as such." "I was put on this earth to be a singer and will keep doing so for as long as the good Lord lets me. "I'd like to clear up any confusion that I may have caused with my dear fans and the media. However, Rod later took to Instagram to further clarify his comments. Many fans were confused by Rod's comments, and took them to mean that he was retiring completely from rock music. "It borders on rock ‘n’ roll anyway, it’s just not 'Maggie May' and 'Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?'” "I’m really looking forward to doing something else, especially singing with Jools’ band," Rod said. He also added that he wants "to leave the rock 'n' roll stuff behind, for a while.Everything has to come to an end sooner or later." "I had great success with The Great American Songbook, and I’ve just done a swing album with Jools Holland, which is going to come out next year, so I want to go in that direction." "I'm not retiring but I want to move on," Rod continued. Host Charlie Stayt first mentioned that "rockstars are performing into incredible ages now," and Rod responded, "I am actually stopping." In an interview with BBC Breakfast earlier this month, the 78-year-old musician revealed that after years of releasing rock music, he's pivoting into the swing genre. Sir Rod Stewart is clarifying his comments.
