He opened up as he reflected on a huge birthday milestone coming up next year.
Writing in his New magazine column, he said: “I feel great about being a year away from 50. I dreaded turning 40 but actually my forties have been really amazing, I feel relaxed, and in a very happy place career=wise and personally.
“The only thing that worries me about turning another year older is that my parents are getting older and my mum’s health is really declining, which makes me sad.
“But everything else is going well and I feel great.
“I don’t feel my age and I feel lucky to still have a full head of black hair. I’m sure the greys will come soon though, and I’ll embrace them.

“I have a couple in my bread at the moment! I’m loving life and happy to grow old gracefully… well, I’m not happy to grow old but you know what I mean!”
Peter has struggled with being able to visit Australia, and has even spoken about his desire to live Down Under again.
The star, who was born in London, moved Down Under when he was six and grew up on the Gold Coast, only returning to the UK when his music career took off.
He has revealed that he’s thinking about moving back, but it is difficult because of his UK-based children.
Peter co-parents Princess, 14, and Junior, 16, with his ex Katie Price, and his youngest Amelia, seven, and four-year-old Theo live at home with him and Emily MacDonagh in Surrey.
The singer feared it would be 2022 before he could go – and it looks like he was right.
