Rod Stewart is switching his tune in the music industry. 

After being a rock legend for more than six decades, Stewart announced he’s diving into other genres of music. 

During a recent interview with "BBC Breakfast," Stewart responded to a statement that host Charlie Stayt made. He said that "rock stars are performing into incredible ages now."

The "Hot Legs" singer reacted and said, "I am actually stopping."

"I'm not retiring but I want to move on," Stewart noted. "I had great success with The Great American Songbook… and I’ve just done a swing album with Jools Holland, which is going to come out next year, so I want to go in that direction."

Stewart, 78, continued to explain his decision for leaving the rock genre ahead of his tour with Boy George, who joined him for the interview. 

"I just want to leave all the rock 'n' roll stuff behind, for a while, maybe."

"Everything has to come to an end sooner or later," Stewart declared. 

He added that he’s in a "good place" with the music genre switch.

After the rocker concludes his 2023 tour, Stewart revealed what his next project will be. 

"I’m really looking forward to doing something else, especially singing with Jools’ band," he remarked.

"It borders on rock ‘n’ roll anyway, it’s just not 'Maggie May' and 'Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?'"
