All stars will burn out eventually. Polaris is about 430 LY away from us, and is a multiple star; there are several stars huddled together to form what we observe as one star. One component is a supergiant, and there is one main sequence star, and one dwarf. There are a couple of other small companion stars in the group. So the death of Polaris is likely to be a rather long and drawn out affair. It won't be fading from the sky any time soon.
