About Rod Stewart

For one of the most famous singers of all time, Rod Stewart came from remarkably humble beginnings. Born in London in January 1945 as the Second World War was winding down, Rod Stewart preferred playing football to music as a young boy and even tried out for Brentford FC's third division before being rejected. After working odd manual jobs, he traveled around the UK and Europe at age 17 as a busker alongside folk singer Wizz Jones, then returned to London to join R&B and blues bands before signing a solo contract with Decca Records in 1964. He hit it big in the late 1960s with the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces, setting style trends with his "mod" image (especially his hair) and catchy tunes, along with his unique raspy voice. In the decades since, he has morphed and changed, adapting to the times and collaborating with artists from across the musical spectrum, from rock to soul to swing standards. He has sold over 250 million albums worldwide, holds the Guinness record for the largest free concert in history with 3.5 million fans at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on New Year's Eve 1994, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2016, becoming Sir Rod Stewart. He has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: as a solo artist in 1994 and with the Faces in 2012. His 2026 schedule centers on the continuation of the Rod Stewart with Howard Jones, which he has described as his final large-scale world tour, along with new "Encore Shows" residency dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
