I remember queuing all day around The Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park with friends to get tickets to see The Faces way back, I remember playing "Every Picture Tells a Story" album endlessly, I think I still have it somewhere. I did like him as a performer in his heyday, not so much now.

I was in a taxi late one night in Spain going to our hotel. We got settled and the driver played this

It was Rod and an unknown singer called Amy Belle and it was fantastic. Whenever I hear it I think of that hot night in Spain.

We have seen him live and he is a fabulous showman, I have liked him since I was a young teen.

Go Rod 👏👏👏

(His previous Essex home was next to our good friends, he is an absolute gentleman, and frequents the local pub for a blether with the neighbours, as well as one not far from us)

I've seen him on a Jools Holland show and he was pretty good.

Don't really care though. Loved him since his Rod the Mod days which were also Kitty the Mod days (obviously his name rhymed better grin)

Love Rod and he is my Sunday morning listening every weekend. I can’t remember what the event was a couple of years ago but pretty sure it was a royal event that he played live. His voice was very weak and he sang Sweet Caroline. I felt sorry for him actually.

I wish I had a ticket! I’ll be glued to the TV as well.

I have just seen that Rod Stewart is to play on the Legends stage at Glastonbury.

A definite watch for me. On the telly!! I'm nearly as old as Sir Rod!
