“Still Singing, Still Swinging”: Van Morrison Proves Age Is Just a Number with New Music on the Way

At 79, most legends would be content to rest on their laurels. But not Van Morrison. The Northern Irish icon known for timeless hits like “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Moondance”—is still in the studio, still writing, and still hungry to create.

 

In a recent surprise announcement, Morrison teased new material that he says will “go back to the roots but with fire.” And fans couldn’t be more excited.

 

> “I’ve never stopped playing. The muse is still there. If it comes, I don’t question it—I write it,” Van said in a rare interview.

 

Over the past few years, he’s released a steady stream of albums blending blues, jazz, soul, and classic rock with his unmistakable voice and rebellious spirit. His recent work explores themes of freedom, reflection, and resilience.

 

And now? Word has it that a new 2025 album is in the works, filled with gritty ballads, political fire, and that signature Morrison magic.

 

What makes it more impressive is that he’s not just creating he’s performing. Van is gearing up for select live shows across Europe, reminding audiences that real artistry doesn’t retire.

Still soulful. Still sharp. Still Van.

In a world of fast music and fading fame, Van Morrison stands as proof that when music is your lifeblood, you never really slow down you just keep evolving.
