Despite these setbacks, the 79-year-old singer wanted to reassure fans that he was fine and was not hiding any underlying health issues.
The music legend explained to The US Sun, “It seems I was seriously misunderstood in that interview. When I said ‘My days are numbered,’ it was a complete joke.”
“Aren’t everyone’s days numbered?” Stewart continued. “I’m in embarrassingly good health and enjoying life to the fullest. I’m not dead as far as I know.”
The “First Cut Is the Deepest” hitmaker reiterated his comments in a previous interview that he was on track to set a new world record in the 100-meter dash for his age group.
Stewart has maintained his fitness over the years thanks to the constant support of the trainer he has worked with for nearly four decades.
The music icon stressed his commitment to regular exercise, saying he hits the gym three to four times a week.
“I’ve done over 70 shows this year around the world and there’s still more to come,” Stewart told the channel.
He exclaimed, “I have a beautiful wife, eight children and three grandchildren. Life is great and I have a lot to live for but I could still be hit by a number nine bus in Charing Cross Road next week. All our days are numbered, but we don’t know when.”

Stewart went on to address his cancelled shows, describing it as “extremely unfortunate”.
Fans were concerned when he had to cancel three shows, including one in Las Vegas earlier this month.
But the “Sailing” singer later rescheduled and successfully performed the missed shows in California.

He also said he plans to return to Las Vegas next year and his next stage appearance is scheduled for next month.
Stewart’s concerns come after he told The Sun in an interview in late July that his “days are numbered” and revealed plans to maintain his active lifestyle into his final years.
“I know I don’t have much time left but I’m not scared,” he said at the time.
“We all have to go at some point, so we’re all in the same basket,” he continued. “I’m going to enjoy myself these last few years as much as I can. I’m talking about a few — maybe 15 more years. I can do it easily, man, easily.”
But the father-of-eight, who has survived both prostate and thyroid cancer, said he now “knows more about my health than I did before”.
