He also maintains a daily exercise regimen and a pescatarian diet. “I work out every day,” Springfield admitted to the news outlet. “I just got a trainer, and I’ve been working out with him. Basically, I watch what I eat, and I try and stay active.”

He says a vegan diet is a ‘NO’

The singer openly admitted that he experimented with a vegan diet but confessed that it had a negative impact on his appearance. “I tried being a vegan, and it made me feel great,” Springfield said, “but I looked like hell.”

He also mentioned that he chose to reintroduce fish into his diet after a colleague expressed concern about his physical appearance. “A friend of mine came up to me and said, “Are you OK?” I got so thin,” the 73-year-old confessed. “So I had to put fish back in [for protein].”
