Rod Stewart has revealed he is retiring from “rock ‘n’ roll touring” after next year and is mothballing popular anthems such as Maggie May and Hot Legs.
But the 77-year-old insisted he isn’t retiring completely and will still perform live – but “in folk clubs with a guitar”.
The London-born superstar, who is hugely proud of his Scots roots, said: “Next year will be the end of my rock ‘n’ roll touring. I want to do something different. It feels like an end of an era. All things must come to an end.
