Stewart has been around a long time. He originally sang in a lot of bands prior to becoming famous as a single singer. He had a lot of hits and was popular here in the U.S. I do remember “rumors” of him being gay or bi-sexual. I’m not sure if any of that was true or not. I never paid much attention to rumors.
I don’t think he fared to well as a crooner, at least here in states he didn’t.
My Rod Stewart favorite song is “Forever Young.”
Yes the band were 'The faces' (once the small faces) but prior to that, Rod Stewart was a member of the Jeff Beck group, and even before that he was a solo singer in his own right.
.... here at home he has been a Humongous success since he went solo, and getting into older age. Turned mainly to crooning, and it suits him
Yes the rumours about him being gay has dogged him for years.. Long John Baldry nicknamed him Phyllis and Elton John - Sharon, during the 70's, and at one time Elton and Rod were tied at the hip, but I don't think there was any affair between them ..
Rod is more famous in his personal lives for the number of women he's had ..
he gets a lot of stick in the British press for being married to a younger woman who seems to act more like his mother at times, and his personal dress sense (not his stage clothes) now are more reminiscent of an old lady...
Still despite many ex wives and long term partners, and even more children, he's rumoured to be a very kind man to them all... so long he may continue to entertain us all
This is typical of the sell out shows he does now....
Now a young Bruce Springsteen rocking a sleeveless t-shirt and faded jeans ...yep!
