Rod Stewart is all work and no play these days, and RadarOnline.com can reveal it's getting old for long-suffering wife Penny Lancaster, who's missing the good ol' days and is wondering what's happened to his legendary mojo.
The 80-year-old Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? crooner was once known as much for his sexcapades as his string of hit tunes.
He's fathered eight kids with three wives and two galpals.
Rod’s Tour Takes Emotional Toll
Penny Lancaster is said to feel sidelined as Rod Stewart’s tour and recording schedule dominate his time.
But sources said the Hot Legs singer is now consumed by his upcoming One Last Time Tour in the U.S., running from March to August and brags he's also working on "a country album, and I'm halfway through doing an original album."
That seems to be leaving Lancaster, 54, the mom of his sons Alistair, 19, and Aiden, 14, alone in the bedroom.
"Penny feels like she barely recognizes him," shared an insider. "He used to be so full of energy – he worked hard, but he had plenty left in the tank for her.
"But these days she can hardly get him to pay attention to her long enough to enjoy a proper night out.
"They used to take off on little trips at the drop of a hat, and their date nights were a huge part of what kept them close. But lately he's either working or resting."
Exhaustion Drains Rod’s Marriage
Stewart now spends offstage hours resting rather than sharing date nights.
The Maggie May singer was full of fun at age 62 when they wed in 2007, but now, 18 years later, the insider said: "Rehearsing and doing his shows take so much out of him. When he's not 'on', so to speak, he's practically laid out flat on his back.
"Penny feels like the public and the fans and even his friends get one version of Rod, and she gets another, and she's starting to complain."

Despite sons Alistair and Aiden at home, sources said work commitments leave little room for the couple’s private life.
The legendary singer is worth an estimated $300million, so it's not like he needs the bucks.
"Penny doesn't understand why he pushes himself so hard to work and to entertain at the expense of their private life," said the source.
"She's saying it feels like he's married to his career instead of her."
