As fans prepare to share the mood of love when Rod Stewart arrives for his eagerly-awaited date in Durham, the legendary rocker has been opening up about his romantic side.
The enduring favourite - who will be stopping off at the Seat Unique Riverside ground in Chester-le-Street on June 30 on a summer tour which is part of his Global Hits Tour - has been chatting about his famously strong marriage to Penny Lancaster and about life, which takes in the likes of the health regime that keeps him looking fit and his current tour.
In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, the rock star was talking on the day of his 16th wedding anniversary but Penny wasn't with him at their Essex mansion; she was in Italy picking truffles but soon would be back home.
