London: English musician Sting insists he is looking forward to turning 60 as he appreciates his life more as he gets older.
The 59-year-old who is married to 57-year-old producer Trudie Styler, with whom he has four children, says turning 60 will be the start of a fun decade, reported Aceshowbiz.
“I had the most fun in the previous decade, between 50 and 60. So I’m anticipating that the next one will be even better. I mean, why not?,” Sting said.
The Police star insists he isn’t worried about his own mortality and has learnt to appreciate life since it is finite.
“When you reach a certain age, you realise that life is finite. You can be depressed by that, or you can say, ‘I’m going to appreciate every minute to its maximum potential,” he added.
Sting who lost his parents from cancer said that it has had a profound effect on his opinion of death.
“I’ve always been a bit saturnine, a serious person. An older person than I was in years. Perhaps that’s why I’m not feeling particularly strange about reaching 60,” he added. (PTI)
