He went on: “All she’s doing is putting up a sign.

“It’s not hurting you is it, mate?”

However, he has no plans to retire.

The You Wear It Well singer wrote on Instagram: “This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire.

“I love what I do, and I do what I love.

“I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.

“I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not…”
