Rod Stewart Reflects on His Glastonbury Performance and Musical Legacy

Rod Stewart, at 80 years old, continues to impress with his energy and music. This weekend, he is set to perform at the coveted ‘legends’ slot at Glastonbury. Although Stewart has expressed some frustration with the timing of his performance, he is determined to make the most of it, pushing for an extended set after being initially offered a shorter performance time. Known for his hits with the Faces and his solo career, Stewart has a vast catalog of songs to draw from, but the 75-minute set will still be challenging to fit in all his classics. He reflects on his musical journey, from his early days with the Jeff Beck Group to his solo career and iconic covers like ‘First Cut is the Deepest’. Despite past struggles with relationships and personal issues, Stewart has found happiness with his wife Penny Lancaster and family. As he prepares for Glastonbury, Stewart is focusing on enjoying the moment, entertaining his fans, and looking back on his long and successful career. His Glastonbury appearance coincides with the release of his 20th greatest hits album.
