That's not to say that star is still around. The star could have been blown apart by evil spacefarers 3000 years after it was formed (work with me here), and thus we'd be viewing it not as it is, which is a bunch of space debris and heat, but as it was, which is a nice, pretty star.
for the next 3000 years.
That is true in the same way as the sun could have blown up 2 minutes ago but we would still see it as it was for the next 6 minutes.
