Rod Stewart's Fountain of Youth: Secrets Behind His Age-Defying Vitality

Rod Stewart (pictured performing at the FireAid benefit concert in January this year in California) has an impressive amount of energy - especially as he is 80-years-old

ROD STEWART: THE ROCKER WHO DEFIES AGING!

At 80 years young, Rod Stewart is still rocking it like he's half his age! The legendary singer-songwriter has just been confirmed to perform at Glastonbury Festival, marking a whopping 23 years since his last appearance in 2002. But what's behind this octogenarian's seemingly eternal youth and boundless energy?

According to men's health specialist GP Dr Jeff Foster, Rod Stewart is the epitome of being the Peter Pan of pop - rarely aging and looking like someone at least two decades younger! This medical expert believes that discipline plays a strong role in Sir Rod's longevity. Could his secret be a regular exercise regime? Perhaps activities like resistance training to preserve muscle mass?

While one doctor told FEMAIL that Rod Stewart may rely on a strict dietary and exercise regimen to stay fit, having a young family (pictured) also likely helps

We're talking about a clean, protein-rich diet, minimal alcohol intake, and a well-curated blend of vitamins and supplements! It seems that Sir Rod takes his health seriously, and it shows!

But what about his signature hairstyle? Dr. Foster suggests that this rockstar's locks are one of his most striking features. "His hair alone shaves years off his overall look!" Ah, yes, we can't help but wonder if those highlights are a result of his regular salon visits or perhaps some secret hair hack?

Speaking of which, rumor has it that Rod Stewart rubs mayonnaise into his tresses to keep them strong and healthy! According to reports, the singer even recommended this technique to his late friend Steve Marriott. Who knew condiments could be so... hair-raising?

The rocker (seen performing on during the Platinum Party at Buckingham Palace in 2022 as part of the late Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee celebrations) says he is still enjoying his career

Now, let's get to the juicy stuff! Sources close to Sir Rod reveal that he has a hairdresser on speed dial and regularly visits London-based salon Steven Carey in Mayfair. It seems that maintaining those luscious locks requires some serious TLC - and a hefty price tag!

This 80-year-old rockstar is not slowing down anytime soon. In fact, he's planning to end large-scale world tours after his upcoming European and North American dates. But don't worry, Rod fans! He'll still be performing at more intimate venues for his next tour in 2026.

So, what's the secret behind Sir Rod's youthful appearance? According to Dr. Foster, it's not just about exercise and diet - it's also about mental and physical activity to keep up with family life. Having a younger partner like Penny and children later in life can be incredibly energizing! Who knew love could be such a powerful elixir?

One of the featured that shaves decades off Sir Rod's appearance is his thick head of blonde locks

There you have it, folks! Rod Stewart: the rockstar who defies aging and continues to thrill audiences worldwide. Don't miss his upcoming performance at Glastonbury Festival - it's going to be a show like no other!
