“I thought Rod Stewart was dead,” said a colleague. Others concurred. But Rod Stewart is not dead, he’s playing the Legends slot at 3pm on the Sunday of Glastonbury festival — and is the perfect person to do so, following on from the likes of Shania Twain, Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie.
The last time many of us saw Rod was his performance at the Platinum Jubilee – sorry, Platty Jubes – when he squawked through a rendition of Sweet Caroline that he later claimed the BBC “made him” sing. At least he had an excuse. Who was to blame for making us watch? No one but ourselves.
