Rod Stewart has very publicly shut down any confusion on him planning to retire, putting out a defiant statement on Twitter, ahead of his gig in Chester-le-Street this weekend.
Rod is the music legend that has been in the music business for six decades now, giving us classic anthems like Maggie May, Sailing, Tonight's The Night and Baby Jane. And, the man is also responsible for hits like Downtown Train, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy and Hot Legs, is heading to County Durham this week, for an outdoor show at Chester-le-Street's Riverside ground.
Always a popular guy when he comes up to the North East, Rod will be supported by music icons Culture Club, as fans get set for an evening of some serious throwbacks and singalongs. Rod has come back to the UK after a successful resident in Las Vegas, however, his first gig back on home soil, didn't go entirely to plan on Saturday, when his show in Plymouth came to an abrupt end.
