Stewart will play the final show of his critically acclaimed The Hits residency on Wednesday, following 200 performances at The Colosseum over the years. PerKTNV Las Vegas, the “Sailing” singer took to the Strip this past weekend to celebrate his monumental run, surprising fans with an appearance and a capella performances at The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails in The Cosmopolitan.

“We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket,” the singer-songwriter continued. “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.”

Stewart admitted he doesn’t go hard with drinking as he once did “in the ’70s and ’80s.”

“I can’t stay up all night, get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that,” he said, adding that he enjoys himself enough to still preserve his singing voice for concerts.

Stewart added: “Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show. The older you get, the more you have to do that. Water has a hell of a lot to do with it. But no, you think I just have water on my rider? You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show. There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We absolutely love it.”
