Sting has no plans to slow down in his 70’s…or even his 80’s.
The singer was asked if he would follow in Paul McCartney’s footsteps and headline Glastonbury at the age of 80.
His response? “Why not? I’m not wearing a corset or anything. As long as I can get into my rock star pants, I’ll be fine.”
That would be Glastonbury 2032, just in case fans want to put it on the calendar.
“You want to stay in the game as long as possible, like tennis – just one more round and one more game,” Sting said. “I’m competitive. I want to get better as a songwriter. I want to improve and I want to keep learning, and I think that’s what keeps me going – just the idea that you can do better.
“Every night I try and breathe life into a song that could have been written 40 years ago with the same curiosity, the same passion, the same enthusiasm, and that’s my gig. And I’m so grateful for those songs because they’ve transformed my life. They are the lifeblood of what I do,” continued Sting.
In the meantime, Sting will bring his ‘My Songs’ tour to North American this fall.
