Sir Rod Stewart paid an emotional tribute to Ukraine during his concert at the OVO Hydro. Images of the war-torn country were shown on a huge screen at the back of the stage as the star sang Rhythm of My Heart during his two-hour set.
The singer signalled the tribute by appearing on stage with a blue shirt and yellow jacket, the colours of the Ukrainian flag. Sir Rod, who has rented and furnished a home for a family of seven Ukrainian refugees, also read out the names of refugees.
At the end of the song, Sir Rod turned to the screen to salute an image of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, saying: “What a guy.”
