Rod Stewart has put his Los Angeles mansion on the market for $80m, as he prepares to spend more time living at his UK residence.

“It’s just time,” estate agent Tomer Fridman told the New York Times, which first reported the listing. “The whole family lived there for 30 years. The children grew up there, and he’s got grandchildren already. He’s touring, and he lives in Europe a lot of the time.”
