Apple ID email

The email address I used for my Apple ID is no longer functional. Do I have to change it, or can I add an email that works?

iPhone 6s, iOS 12

You don't have to change it, but if Apple needs to contact you for something, for example resetting your password, you won't receive the email. A current address is better.
