On Saturday Rod was in The Dominican Republic to play this outdoor event including ‘Have You Ever Seen The Rain’‘Young Turks’ and ‘Stay With Me’ in the set tonight It was also great to get a couple of new members..if you come across the Carlisle photos please send them in! Rod told the Mirror this week that Penny will be on duty as a special constable with the City of London Police for the King’s Coronation concert in May but he will still be in Las Vegas as part of his residency at Caesars Palace. Photo Thanks to COPS I would say I was always inspired by the female divas and found myself trying to belt like Whitney, Mariah and Celine Dion from a very young age. I definitely couldn’t sing anything like them but I liked to think I could!

Harmonic Melbourne siblings DACY opened the show last night and again tonight and went down well with the Rod crowd.

We met him at some restaurant and he started making us mudslingers. Within an hour, we were all half cut and he disappeared. Then a stretch limo turned up to take us home. There was a phone in it and I’ll never forget wee Charlie Nicholas hanging out of the sunroof calling his maw in Milton while we were driving down Sunset Boulevard.”Sir Rod Stewart is still very much a part of the current music scene, having performed at Her Majesty the Queen’s Royal Jubilee in 2022, and released new music as recently as 2021. Aww thank you so much! I haven’t played piano in quite a while and wouldn’t say I’m amazing but can play well enough to accompany myself. I used to perform a lot of solo gigs so would accompany myself then.

Ex band member Stevie Salas who said ‘Where would I be in this world today if Rod Stewart didn’t take a chance giving a job to a kid barely in his early 20s who had ZERO experience. Man I love him so and owe him deep. It was so great to see him last night and have a few laughs ( in the photo with my brother Chris Osceola). Also great to see Jimmy Roberts, David Palmer, the RS Band and even one of my techs from the 93 Duran Duran tour’.Corrigan & Sons Funeral Directors in Ireland posted the death notice of The Faces and Rod’s ex manager Billy Gaff who reportedly passed away on Monday, as we post this news bulletin SMILER can not confirm this news ..more on this sad breaking news next week . Which of course was a great shame, as while definitely running on empty at times, I'll still take this over most of any of his numerous albums ever since. Good Morning Little Schoolgirl was Sir Rod Stewart’s first single to be released, and was the start of the blossoming of his solo career. He then released his debut album, Every Picture Tells a Story in 1971, alongside the release of the single Maggie May which went to straight to Number 1 in the UK and the US simultaneously. Rod sang a stunning version of Tom Traubert’s Blues (Waltzing Matilda) in the set, the first time Rod has sang it live since The 2015 Hyde Park set. Photo Andrew Treadwell Friday night was the first date on the next leg of Rod’s ‘Hits’ tour and also the first official date for new band member Joanne Harper who posted this shot of her with Rod and Holly Brewer on her social media Joanne Harper
