Iconic singer Paul Anka has finally opened up about retirement plans.

In an interview with Page Six, the singer admitted that he’s aware his “day is coming.”

After more than six decades career, Amka shared the advice he gives to fellow performers who face vocal decline.

“I say, ‘Keep your dignity and stop shortchanging the consumer and ride out a hero and a winner,'” he said.

However, Anka’s plans to retire still appears off as he continues to tour internationally and his voice remains strong. “I never became a drinker. I never became a smoker… I made up my mind that if I were going to continue to try and create… I gotta be in good health… and it’s paid off,” Anka said.

He went on to add about his wellness routine, saying, “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 this passage where I don’t want any people to put any stress in my life. Go away! Don’t need you. That’s the big killer,” he said.

It is pertinent to mention that Paul Anka received an unexpected resurgence in recent years when teenagers rediscovered his 1959 track Put Your Head on my Shoulder.

“It broadened the parameters. Thirty per cent of them are just teenagers with albums and screaming,” the singer revealed referring to the audience in his Mexico show.
