  • Rod Stewart Scolded by Essex Highways for Road Repair Video

    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...

    Rod Stewart is opening up about the daughter he gave up for adoption, revealing he was "absolutely stone broke" when Sarah Streeter was born and had no other option. "She was put up for adoption when I was 17 or 18, I think," the rocker said on 'The Joy Behar Show' Thursday. Stewart has recently been in contact with his daughter, now 46, following the deaths of her adoptive parents. "Since her mom and dad have died, we've tried to come together and be close together, and it's working out pretty well," Stewart said. "I never felt like I was...

    At age 60, Rod Stewart is a father again. His fiancee, Penny Lancaster, gave birth to a baby boy early Sunday morning at a London hospital, the couple announced Monday.
