Donald Trump’s supporters claimed Rod Stewart’s recent bout with strep throat is “karma” for mocking the former president’s complexion. The “Maggie May” singer took to Instagram Wednesday to announce that he was “absolutely gutted” to cancel his 200th Las Vegas residency show hours before he was due on stage. “I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration,” Stewart, 79, wrote. “Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long,” he continued. “My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.” While many fans wished...

British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart poked fun at former President Trump for questioning Vice President Harris’s race and ethnicity, saying he never knew Trump “was Orange” until the GOP presidential nominee suddenly “became an Orange person.” “I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange,” Stewart wrote in his post, which featured four headshots of Trump, side by side, appearing to show Trump’s skin tone appearing progressively more orange. “I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went — he became...

Han’s Worst Hits of the 70’s today visits one of the bigger stars of that decade-Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart has always been a frustrating artist to me. Rod was great back with The Faces and in his early solo career but in the mid-70’s he certainly showed signs at least of wavering towards being more interested in being famous than great. He jumped the shark with Do Ya Think I’m Sexy

Rod Stewart stole hearts with his viral road-repair video this week, but at least one party was less than impressed: Essex Highways. The 77-year-old rocker on Saturday shared a video that showed him grabbing a shovel and helping to fill potholes on a damaged road. Stewart, who was dressed in the training gear of Scotland's Celtic Football Club, said he was spurred to action because he couldn't drive his Ferrari over the pothole-scarred road. "This is the road near where I live in Harlow, and it's been like this for ages," Stewart lamented. "And the other day there was an...

Rod Stewart is worried that any action taken to combat climate change wouldn't be enough to stop it. Speaking to Chris Evans on the How to Wow podcast, Stewart said, "I think the good Lord is intent on wiping us all out, because we’ve spoiled the Earth. We’ve spoiled it. I think it’s too late to turn back now, I think global warming is going to spoil the Earth. We’re literally, I believe we’re too late. ... And now with that prick in the White House, pulling out of the Paris Accord, it’s terrible." Stewart contrasted the mood during the...

He has long been known as a model railway enthusiast — even if at times he didn’t want to talk about it. But now Sir Rod Stewart’s legendary layout — 26 years in the making — can be seen for the first time in all its finished glory. The rocker’s astonishingly detailed 124ft long x 23ft wide model depicting an American city and its industrial hinterland in the 1940s contains hundreds of buildings, from trackside switchman shanties to vast factories and skyscrapers. Called Grand Street And Three Rivers City, it also features a railway station crossed by numerous bridges at...

[Snip] Yes, we've lost some already. On top of the icons who died horribly young decades ago — Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, John Lennon — there's the litany of legends felled by illness, drugs, and just plain old age in more recent years: George Harrison, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty. Those losses have been painful. But it's nothing compared with the tidal wave of obituaries to come. The grief and nostalgia will wash over us all. Yes, the Boomers left alive will take it...

Sir Rod Stewart could be in breach of strict cyber-crime laws after he was filmed seeming to mimic a beheading in a video. Legal experts have warned the United Arab Emirates' laws forbid people from inciting religious contempt, discrimination or hatred. Radha Stirling, legal consultant for Detained in Dubai, said: “I can cite precedents where they have put people in prison for lesser crimes than this.” The families of killer Jihadi John ’s victims have branded the singer “disgusting”. The singer has offered his “deepest apologies”, but said his actions in the Abu Dhabi desert were “misinterpreted”. The singer, 72,...

I went to the Rod Stewart/Stevie Nicks concert last night at the Hollywood Bowl. I was surprised to hear him dedicate "Rhythm of my Heart" to the troops fighting around the world. He mentioned the third conflict ongoing in Libya. He said that once again soldiers for the U.S., Great Britain, Canada and others, but "mostly our two countries" were once again inn harm's way. He said he takes his hat off to any service members in the audience, and we rally owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who served form WWI to today for defending our freedom. The...

Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck set for album reunion Former bandmates 'making progess' on recording first LP together since the late-60s For the first time since the late-60s, Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck are "inching" toward recording a new album together. "We're making progress," Stewart said. Stewart and Beck have not recorded an LP together in 40 years. The Jeff Beck Group's first two albums, Truth and Beck-Ola, cemented the former Yardbird as a guitar god – and gave Stewart his big breakthrough. But the band broke up in 1969 on the eve of Woodstock, where they were scheduled to...
