Sir Rod Stewart says he's using 'power' as knight as he rents home for family of seven Ukrainian refugees

Sir Rod Stewart has revealed that he is renting a home for a family-of-seven Ukrainian refugees. The singer has said he is using his 'power' as a knight to help others and for one family who fled war-torn Ukraine, Sir Rod has found them a house, furnished it and pledged to pay their rent and bills for at least a year.

He said he usually keeps "all my charitable efforts nice and quiet," but hoped that by making his latest actions public, they might inspire others to help too. Sir Rod has provided support to Ukrainian couple Rostylsav and Olena and their five children, paying rent and bills for the property for at least a year, according to The Mirror.

The family, who arrived in the UK without speaking any English, are “lovely… so polite” and “all very grateful”, Sir Rod said. "It just makes me want to do more. I am thinking of getting another house now and getting a lot more people over," he told the publication.
