Sir Rod Stewart has confirmed he will not be performing at King Charles' Coronation concert but says his model and television presenter wife Penny Lancaster will be on duty as special constable.
He has a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, so will be there instead on May 7, Daily Record reports. Sir Rod was knighted by the Prince of Wales at Buckingham Place in 2016.
Last year, at the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee concert Rod led a singalong of Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond - so he is no stranger to Royal occasions. Loose Women panelist Penny has been a special constable with City of London Police since April last year.

Meanwhile, members of the iconic 90s band the Spice Girls are set to reunite to sing at King Charles III royal coronation, a source has revealed.
The formal event will see His Majesty officially inducted in his new royal role as King in a three day celebration from May 6 to 8 - an important occasion which could see the legendary girl group reform of a one off performance as royal organisers try to secure the act.
If confirmed, it will be the first time in over 10 years since members, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Mel Chisholm, Gerry Halliwell and Emma Bunton take stage as a full group - last joining forces to sing at the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony in London.
