Rod Stewart wants to ‘leave rock and roll behind’ with switch into swing music

Sir Rod Stewart has said he wants to “leave all the rock and roll stuff behind” and is looking forward to moving in a different direction with his music.

The singer-songwriter, who has had six number one hits in the UK charts including Baby Jane and Maggie May, has recorded swing tracks with pianist and TV host Jools Holland for an upcoming new album.

It will be released next year, following Sir Rod’s UK summer tour which kicks off in Home Park Stadium in Plymouth on June 24 with support act Boy George and Culture Club.
