Rock icon Sir Rod Stewart is gearing up for a sensational Glastonbury performance that's set to be the highlight of the summer, and it's almost surreal to think he's hitting the big 8-0 this week.The legendary musician with the iconic spiky hairdo celebrates his 80th birthday on 10 January, yet he's nowhere near ready to hang up his mic, boasting an incredible six-decade-long career and over 120 million records sold worldwide. "I have no desire to retire," Rod confidently announced on Instagram back in November. "I'm fit, have a full head of hair and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the age of 79." Birthday plans are in full swing, curated by none other than his wife Penny Lancaster, who has hinted at a string of celebratory bashes stretching out for "several weeks".

The couple, who usually reside in Essex, reportedly enjoyed their Christmas under the sunny skies of Palm Beach, Florida, before setting sail for the Caribbean just in time for Rod's milestone day.

It's expected that a host of Rod's eight children will join in the merriment, including Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 13—his sons with 53 year old Penny—as well as his four daughters and two sons from previous relationships: Sarah, 61, Kimberly, 45, Ruby, 37, Renee, 32, Sean, 44, and Liam, 30.

Not to mention, Rod's three adorable grandchildren, Delilah, 13, and Otis and Louie, both 19 months, are also likely to add to the joyous occasion.
