Rod Stewart at Glastonbury: The brilliant moments and the blunders as legend takes centre stage
Sir Rod Stewart delivered a memorable performance at Glastonbury Festival, taking the prestigious Legends slot on the Pyramid Stage this Sunday afternoon, accompanied by an array of special guests. The singer was joined by Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood, and Lulu for a thrilling set that featured some of his greatest hits including 'Maggie May', 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? and 'Sailing', as well as other crowd-pleasers like 'Love Train'. A poignant moment came with a heartfelt tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie, who passed away in November 2022. Rod honoured her memory at Glastonbury by displaying her image on the big screen. Fans packed in tightly to witness Rod's extensive set, with festival-goers at the front being cooled down with cups of water as they endured the sweltering heat, reports the Mirror. Despite the excitement, the show experienced a few snags. Battling the heat, Rod had to exit the stage twice during his set to change outfits. The soaring temperatures proved challenging for him, initially dressed in a jacket and long-sleeved white shirt. He later re-emerged in a striking pink suit, informing the audience, "The girls are going to do a song for you while I change my shirt". During his absence, the band entertained the crowd with a rendition of 'Lady Marmalade'. During his second performance, Rod's band played another song as he unexpectedly vanished to slip into a striking bright green suit. The transition wasn't quite seamless when Lulu was introduced as one of Rod's special guests in this afternoon's gig. After announcing Ronnie Wood and then Lulu, only Ronnie promptly appeared on stage, leaving Rod to clarify that 'oh Lulu is coming on in a bit' while Ronnie took up his guitar to entertain the vast Glastonbury audience. Lulu eventually made her entrance, joining Rod for a rendition of Hot Legs, clad in an eye-catching white suit. Rod seemed to stumble over the opening of his renowned hit Maggie May, possibly starting too soon, but the crowd didn't mind and joined in enthusiastically. The beloved tune sparked the most spirited crowd participation of the session, with fans filling the space to capacity as Rod commanded the legendary Pyramid Stage for ninety minutes. Rod was evidently having such a good time that he overran his allotted slot by a few minutes. Despite the wardrobe swaps and star-studded lineup, Rod wrapped up his act about five minutes behind schedule. He addressed the audience, saying "We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done," before launching into the popular number Sailing and expressing gratitude towards all the celebrities who contributed to his well-received show.

Kneecap fans boo Rod Stewart as band target him with "older than Israel" jibe
Fans of the Belfast group jeered Rod's name as Kneecap were performing at Glastonbury. Rod Stewart got a frosty reception during Kneecap 's Glastonbury gig with boos ringing out after he was name checked by the rappers. Fans of the Belfast group jeered Rod's name as Kneecap were performing on the West Holt's stage. Asked if they were going to see Rod's tea time slot at Glastonbury tomorrow, the question was met by jeers, which may have been a reaction to Rod's announcement that he is a big fan of Nigel Farage and the Reform Party. The crowd also mocked Rod when one Kneecap member described him as 'Rod, the Prod' and 'older than Israel'. Celtic fan Rod, who is 80, and spends most of his time in the US, spoke out in favour of Starmer and Reform in an interview with The Times newspaper. He also moaned that Prime Minister, Keir Starmer was trying to reverse Brexit. Rod said: 'It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me,' Rod said. 'But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. 'For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. 'That hasn't made him popular. We're fed up with the Tories. 'We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well. 'What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him. 'Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip.' Rod is likely to have a much friendlier response from his own fans when he returns on Sunday to play the festival he previously headlined in 2002. The British singer, songwriter and producer, who celebrated another number one album last year, will step out onto the Pyramid Stage for the first time in over 20 years on Sunday. With his trademark raspy, soulful voice and armed with a huge back catalogue of hits, there's no doubt he will have the crowd singing along and swinging their hips to songs like Maggie May, You Wear It Well and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? as he promises to entertain the Glastonbury teatime revellers. Rod has said he is not happy with the "teatime slot" as it sounds like "pipe and slippers" though it should be anything but with former Faces bandmate and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood expected to join him onstage. But as the boos rang out at Glastonbury's Kneecap members laughed, asking, 'Have I missed something?' And adding, 'I mean the man's older than Israel. Rod, the Prod.' Though it may have been a joke, London-born Rod who lives in the US, is actually older than modern state of Israel which was founded on April 18, 1948. Rod was born on January 10, 1945.

Rod Stewart, 80, cancels second concert over health 3 weeks before Glastonbury
Sir Rod Stewart has cancelled another Las Vegas gig on doctors orders, after he announced his first postponement on Monday. The Maggie May rocker, 80, took to Instagram with a heartbroken emoji, and apologised for the news, explaining he was recovering from the flu. 'I'm awfully sorry to have to cancel my show on June 5th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace,' he said. 'My doctor ordered a bit more rest while I recover from the flu. Thanks for your love and understanding.' On Monday June 2, Sir Rod explained he wasn't 'feeling well' so was postponing his gig that evening until June 10. This news will be worrying to some UK fans, who are looking forward to seeing Sir Rod light up Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage for the coveted legends slot on Sunday, June 29. Alongside legends slot performer Sir Rod, headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. Sir Rod has divulged a few details of what Glastonbury goers – as well as viewers on the BBC – can expect from his set, including an on stage reunion with his former Faces bandmate, Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood. While Sir Rod said he was 'proud' to be returning to the Pyramid Stage 22 years after he headlined the festival, the Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? hitmaker did reveal that the gig will cost him '£300,000'. 'It's going to cost me a fortune to do it – £300,000,' the Maggie May singer told Alan Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast. 'I've got to bring all my band back from America, of course, Glastonbury don't pay for that.' He then added that the cost didn't bother him as the slot was an 'honour': 'But I don't care if it cost me $1million, I would have done it. This is a great honour. It really is the greatest honour.' Posting on social media, following the announcement, Sir Rod said: 'After all these years, I'm proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June. I'll see you there!' Officially launching in 1998 with Tony Bennett's performance the coveted legends slot, taking place every year on the Sunday afternoon of Glastonbury, is considered as prestigious as a headline slot. This comes after the full Glastonbury line-up with timings dropped yesterday. While lots of ticketholders searched for clashes, they were also stumped by a mystery band on the bill called Patchwork – a fake name by Glastonbury organisers to signal a secret set from a famed artist or band. More Trending While US sisters Haim are heavily rumoured, it's also thought Patchwork could in fact be Pulp, as they drop a new album this week. According to pal and collaborator Jools Holland, Sir Rod will be bringing his model railways to the Worthy Farm festival. 'He can't bring the whole set because it's enormous. But whenever he's on tour, he'll have a station building which he will take with him to a hotel,' Jools told The Daily Mirror. Before adding: 'He could create his own little railway that goes around Glastonbury – a little ride-on thing that went up to the Healing Fields, around the jazz tent and back to the Pyramid Stage.'
