Rod Stewart has left his fans in meltdown after he announced that he would be extending his current tour due to having "too much fun".

Stewart is currently touring around the world and leaving adoring fans stunned with his musicality, and voice, whilst bringing back some of his classic songs.


The 79-year-old previously discussed the prospect of "slowing down" despite his wife Penny Lancaster, 53, branding him a "workaholic".

He recently told HELLO! magazine: "I don't see any possibility of slowing down anytime soon. And as I get older, I only really want to do things that give me great pleasure."

Lancaster backed him up and remarked: "He loves what he does so much and will never retire," adding that she "struggles" to keep up with his fitness regime.

She said: "He's a workaholic and constantly on the move. I struggle to keep up with his training schedule. He works out three or four times a week, even on tour."

Now, Stewart has proven her point further after revealing that he is going on his Encore Tour, and landed a residency in Las Vegas, leaving fans to revel in the news.

Taking to his Instagram account, the star posted a trailer of his many performances on stage and captioned the post: "Vegas, I’m having too much fun for this to end so we are coming back for an encore!

"Don’t miss The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace March 12-22 & May 29-June 8! Tickets are on sale Monday at 10amPT!"

Fans quickly flocked to the comment section to reveal their excitement, as one exclaimed: "OH MY GOD!!! I want to live in this video.."

"Let’s keep the party going," someone else said before a fifth penned: "Yassssssssssssss woohoo! This makes me so happy!" (sic)

Whilst Lancaster is proud of her husband, she recently admitted she was "at peace" following Stewart's admission that he feels his days "are numbered".

The Hot Legs singer told The Sun recently: "We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I'm aware my days are numbered but I've got no fear."

Just one day later, the 53-year-old 53, shared a wholesome update with her 197,000 Instagram followers along with a smiling selfie and said: "After a couple of crazy days and nights in central London, there's nothing I like more than getting back out to the country and laying out on the cool grass on an early summers evening.

"Breathing in fresh air and the smell of the earth beneath me. Listening to the birds and watching the butterflies, dance about while being chased by my two devoted doggies. I'm at peace, I'm home."
