Iconic singer Paul Anka has finally opened up about retirement plans.
In an interview with Page Six, the singer admitted that he is aware that his “day is coming.”
After a career spanning more than sixty years, Amka shared the advice he gives to fellow artists struggling with vocal decline.
“I say, ‘Keep your dignity and stop shortchanging the consumer and be a hero and a winner,’” he said.
However, Anka’s plans to retire still seem off as he continues to tour internationally and his voice remains powerful. “I never became a drinker. I never became a smoker… I decided that if I was going to continue creating new creations… I have to be in good health… and it’s paying off,” Anka said.
He further added about his wellness routine and said, “I drink olive oil. I drink lemon juice at a certain time… I fast once a week. I exercise, [I do] what I have to do.”
“I’m in a passage where I don’t want people to cause any stress in my life. Go away! I don’t need you. That’s the big killer,” he said.
It is pertinent to mention that Paul Anka has had an unexpected revival in recent years when teenagers rediscovered his 1959 song Put Your Head on my Shoulder.
“It expanded the parameters. Thirty percent of them are just teenagers with albums and screams,” the singer revealed, referring to the audience in his show in Mexico.
