Rod Stewart

THE ROYALS CAN DEPEND ON ROD STEWART

Rod Stewart is set to be the secret headliner at King Charles’ upcoming coronation! A string of A list Brits (including Elton John and Harry Styles) declined an offer to perform because they are too busy touring. (that’s how musicians make money these days)  The palace has scrambled to find some big name British talent for the televised event May 6. Rod has always been close to the Royals, having last performed for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee just months before her death last year. The palace hasn’t announced anything yet, as a few minor details need to be worked out, but Rod is expected to take the stage and perform some of his classics for the new King and Queen.

ROD STEWART IS FEELING SHORT

Rod Stewart can’t help but laugh at the height difference between him and his 17 year old son Alastair. Actually, Rod is a perfectly acceptable 5’10,” so Alastair must be quite tall. Obviously Alastair got his height from his mom, Rod’s model wife Penny Lancaster, who is 6 feet tall. Most of Rod’s kids (he has 8 – with 5 different women) are taller than him because most of his ex-wives and girlfriends happen to be models. Alastair already has a modeling career of his own in progress…

ROD STEWART LOVES TO IMITATE ELTON JOHN

Rod Stewart posted this photo of himself onstage at a recent concert and he’s in the middle of doing a not-so-flattering impersonation of Elton John – wearing funny glasses and a loud jacket, pretending to play the piano. It was captioned “Still love you, Elt” We didn’t realize the two singers had a long-running playful “feud.” It started in the 70’s when Rod’s billboards for “Blondes Have More Fun” were all over the place – Elton had billboards put up with own picture that said “But Brunettes Make More Money.” Elton got really annoyed when Rod called Elton’s 2018 Farewell Tour “dishonest- just a way to sell tickets!” He was right – Elton is still touring…

ROD STEWART’S EX-WIVES AND KIDS ALL GET ALONG

While Rod Stewart is off in Europe somewhere with his latest family, it seems some of his children and ex-wives got together in Los Angeles. Kimberly Stewart posted this photo on Instagram. In the back row you can see Rod’s ex-wives Alana Stewart and former model Rachel Hunter, both looking good. In front: Renee Stewart (Rachel’s kid) and Alana’s daughter Kimberly with HER daughter Delilah Del Toro, next are Ruby and Liam (model Kelly Emberg’s kids) and Sean Stewart, Alana’s son. Rod has a total of eight children now. It’s nice that all the half siblings in this convoluted family make an effort to get together, even when Rod’s not around.

ROD STEWART HAS A CLEVER IDEA FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING

So what if Rod Stewart is three decades older than his wife Penny Lancaster? He more than manages to keep up with her on their trek through Europe. Rod is a true sun worshipper as one can clearly see by his his permanent tan, but the heat and humidity in Venice, Italy, made him glad he brought along a sun umbrella. After shopping and having lunch outside, the couple took a cooling gondola ride, with their masks on. Here’s a thought: is an umbrella a substitute for a mask? It certainly helps in social distancing…

ROD STEWART: MAYBE NOT FOREVER YOUNG, BUT REASONABLY SAFE

Rod Stewart has no intention of letting fear of coronavirus keep him housebound. But he realizes he IS the oldest person in his family, so he’s not taking chances – he wore white gloves this morning when they all went out to breakfast in Bel Air. Rod had knee replacement only a few months ago and he’s already performing, but the virus caused Caesar’s Palace to cancel his shows next weekend – they will be rescheduled.

ROD STEWART: THIS PICTURE TELLS A STORY

Rod Stewart, 74, looks irresistibly happy as he leaves the BBC studios in London and he DOES have a lot to be happy about. In September he revealed that he successfully battled prostate cancer for two years – “I’m in the clear now – I caught it early!” The “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” crooner has been doing a series of concerts in the UK, still appears regularly in Las Vegas, and is about to start a tour of Australia, so he has a busy and financially satisfying year ahead of him.

PENNY LANCASTER KEEPS ROD STEWART ON HIS TOES

He may be 74, but Rod Stewart has no plans to slow down – he has a younger wife to keep him busy. We always love photos of Penny Lancaster, 48, and Rod together because, at 6’1”, she’s taller than him, and still loves to wear heels. They’ve been married for 16 years and have two boys together – Alastair, 14, and Aiden, 8. Penny and Rod were partying at Annabel’s club in London this week.

SEAN STEWART HAS IMPROVED HIS DRINKING HABITS

Rod Stewart’s son Sean Stewart always looks like he’s coming from the gym, according to his apparel, but he doesn’t seem like a gym rat. We often see him shopping in expensive stores like Maxfield or Barneys wearing bedroom slippers. His sweatshirt DOES prove he has a sense of humor about himself – it says HARVARD LAW – class of Just Kidding. We don’t think Sean, 38, went to college, but he has been in rehab a number of times. He’s been on a few reality shows, but other than that has no visible means of support – other than his dad, who once said he worried that bringing up his kids in LA might have a bad effect on them. Above, Sean picked up a healthy snack at the Pressed Juicery in Beverly Hills.

SEAN STEWART: DA YA THINK HE’S SEXY?

Whenever we see Sean Stewart, 38, he seems to be leisurely shopping in exclusive Beverly Hills stores while wearing shorts and some form of bedroom slippers. Sean didn’t seem to inherit his father Rod Stewart’s ambition, and he’s most noted for his appearance on reality shows such as Celebrity Rehab or the one about his family- Stewarts and Hamiltons -which was canceled after 8 episodes.
