I’m not retiring, but I want to continue, the 78-year-old performer said. I want to follow that route because The Great American Songbook was a hit and I recently worked with Jools Holland on a swing album that will be released the following year.
In addition, Stewart said he wanted “to leave the rock ‘n’ roll stuff behind, for a while. ”.
The musician went on to say that everything must come to an end eventually and that he is in a “good place” with the pivot.
Stewart expressed his desire to take on new challenges, particularly singing with Jools’ band. Only “Maggie May” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” are missing, but it still veers toward rock ‘n’ roll.
The musician’s musical career began in the early 1960s, and since then, he has played in a number of bands, including the well-known Faces.
With “I’m Not Retiring,” Rod Stewart announces a change from rock and roll to swing music.
He received a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Since the debut of his solo album, An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down, in 1969, songs like “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright),” “You’re in My Heart (The Final Acclamation),” and the aforementioned have contributed to his success.
In the 2000s, Stewart released a number of CDs with songs from The Great American Songbook. Stewart made a turn toward the soul subgenre with the release of his album Soulbook in 2009.
He is about to start a tour of Europe that will last until July 22. The following week, he will fly to North America to begin a performance tour that will last until September. He has performed sporadically in Brazil and more frequently in North America. In November, he will resume his Las Vegas residency.
