	The 67-year-old Canadian musician says being single is a "powerful feeling," reported E! online.
	"I tend to go from marriage to marriage-leaving one wife for another. This is the first time in my adult life that I've been single. It's a very powerful feeling, but I'm not used to it.
	"Someone said to me recently that you need to be very careful about the person you pick to spend the rest of your life with. It's kind of weird that I'm hearing that now and thinking, 'Oh, right'," Foster said.

	Foster did not address the romance rumors, but admitted that he has not introduced his daughters to any new girlfriends in the past year.
