Rod Stewart review: The Hits Australian Tour at RAC Arena with special guests Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens

Not afraid of getting political, both Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper championed causes close to their hearts as they took to the stage in Perth on Saturday night.

While ‘80s mega-star Lauper dedicated a somewhat lower-energy version of her seminal hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun to the cause of female human rights, Sir Rod opined that the “most important part” of his show was a touching tribute to the people of Ukraine.

Rod Stewart Performs Incredible First Melbourne Show ’Sailing’ Through a Timeless Setlist

by Paul Cashmere on March 15, 2023

Rod Stewart is unbelievably good at age 78. It seemed the most asked question leading into the tour was ‘can he still sing’?. The answer is ‘fuck yeah’.

Right from the start with his cover of Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted To Love’, Sir Rod pranced on stage with all the glitter and glam of old school professionalism. This was an amazing concert. It felt good to be in the room. For 2 hours and 5 minutes, all eyes were on Rod. Whatever was happening in the world was left outside to deal with later. This audience was in for a good time.

Rod’s point of difference with the recent Elton and Sting show is his ability to improvise his setlist. If you are old enough to remember The Faces, (Rod’s band of the early 70s), you will remember how sloppy they were. (And I used sloppy in a good ol’ rock and roll sense). They would start, fuck it up, stop, start again and it just made for a better show. We had one of those moments with this show when someone in the band didn’t notice ‘Stay With Me’ was a last minute addition to the setlist and launched into ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’. Rod stopped, and started it again. How appropriate that they fucked it up with a Faces song.

None of that matters at a Rod Stewart concert. Rod’s show is his party and everyone in the audience is his guest.

Rod is also a gracious host at his party, sharing his stories, giving us all a glimpse into his life. One story was about how The Faces members used to share hotel rooms. “We took all the furniture in the room and put it down the middle. And then when we got a couple of girls in there, we couldn’t stop fucking giggling. The girls went home”.

There was also the recollection of his first Australia tour (with Faces in 1974) when he looked into the audience and someone was holding the sign “fuck off Pommy bastards”.

There was the serious moment. ‘Rhythm of My Heart’ was dedicated to Ukraine, with Rod calling out ‘stupid fucking Putin’ and filling the screens with images of war-torn Ukraine as the band performed the classic hit, and climaxing with an image of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to thunderous applause from the audience.

The highlights from this show happen fast and furious. There were no lows. We are navigated through various eras. Rod’s setlist is a time-machine. We are transported back to 1973 for a tribute to the Faces with ‘Ooh La La’, sung by Ron Wood on the original song. Rod doesn’t even appear on the Faces version. It was only the two Ronnies (Lane and Wood), Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones. Rod recorded his version of it on 1998’s ‘When We Were The New Boys’ as a tribute to the then recently deceased Ronnie Lane (1946-1997).

‘You’re In My Heart’ was dedicated to Melbourne soccer coach Ange Postecoglou who was soccer coach for Rod’s team Celtic United (name checked in the song).

There is also a tribute to Jeff Beck with ‘People Get Ready’ Rod was singer for the Jeff Beck Group before the Faces and sang vocals for 1985 Beck recording.

Rod also performed ‘The Killing of George Part 1’ at this show but not in Perth. It was a controversial song when released in 1976, the subject being about the murder of a gay friend Rod knew. He didn’t include Part 2 in the performance.

‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’ ends the main set and was followed by ‘Sailing’ in the encore. Two hours felt like 10 minutes.

Jon Stevens opened the show sandwiching his INXS era between his Noiseworks classics. Cyndi Lauper was the perfect before Rod with a good hour covering all of her classics as well as showcasing some of her more recent new music.

Review: Rod Stewart at RAC Arena

Rod Stewart at RAC Arena w/ Cyndi Lauper, Jon Stevens Saturday, March 11, 2023

Sir Roderick David Stewart is oddly underrated both as a songwriter and for his influence on rock and roll’s 70s heyday. His latter-day reputation as a crooning balladeer belies just how cool the former Faces frontman once was.

His close lineage with the Rolling Stones, and particularly Ronnie Wood with whom he co-wrote much of his best material prior to Wood joining the Stones in ’75, cannot be underestimated. Rod Stewart ‘s influence on rock is up there with the greats.

Which made the funny old setlist he brought to RAC Arena for the opening night of perhaps his final Australian tour, all the more baffling. Where were the rockers that challenged the Stones for the 70s’ best swagger? Stay With Me, Hot Legs, Every Picture Tells a Story ? The tender, lyrical ballads he staked his credibility on such as the ahead-of-its-time hate crime tale The Killing of Georgie or epic coming of age story I Was Only Joking ?

Yes he’s 78-years old, and no one expects him to have the moves like Jagger, but Sir Mick’s Stones never disappoint in terms of playing their best tunes.

Sir Rod Stewart

Putting aside the number of covers that most in attendance could've taken or left ( Lady Marmalade ? Really?), in fairness, Rod the Mod's always been fond of reinterpreting the songs of others. His The First Cut is the Deepest is more signature than the Cat Stevens' original. “You'll love this one," he jested to the crowd just before he played it, and it was undoubtedly a standout.

But his own Maggie May up next was even better. The mind-blowing stage set up came to life with lyrics flashing across what must have been 20 screens to ensure one of the night's biggest singalongs. Stewart's voice was in agelessly fine form. It was the only song lifted from his 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story, also his best record.

Originals such as this were few and far between but invariably they went down a treat. You Wear it Well from 1972 kickstarted the show properly after an odd homage to Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love opened the night, complete with dancing girls miming on guitars.

(This showmanship walked a fine line between kitsch and exploitative all night as Stewart's love of talented, much younger women was never in question… half of the 12-member strong backing band were virtuoso singers, strings and harp players who also just happened to be extremely attractive, very young women. What else would you expect from Sir Rod?)

Another Stewart composition, You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim) , garnered perhaps the loudest singalong of the night.

These moments where the crowd got involved worked best. Tonight's the Night sat nicely alongside his well-known interpretations of I Don't Want to Talk About It and Have I Told You Lately , in an acoustic section that made up some of the night's best moments.

His other highlights mostly came via political dedications to civil rights activism, and notably his tribute to Ukraine in support of their President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was pictured on-screen alongside his war-torn country during an epic Rhythm of My Heart . It was a special moment, and in one of his several costume changes, Stewart even performed in the blue and yellow of Ukraine's flag.

The finale of Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? and Sailing featured some impressive visuals and brought the Vegas like-spectacle to a fitting conclusion. But it wasn't the first time we'd heard Sailing that night.

Cyndi Lauper

The first came as a brief interlude during Cyndi Lauper 's inspiring support set. As moving as it was full of spunk, Lauper's punk spirit shone through in a tartan suit and the best dance moves of the night (at 69, she's still got the “she bop").

All the hits were there from I Drove All Night to Time After Time to True Colours , but it was the reappropriation of her biggest hit into Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights that really stole the show.

Part of an pro-choice trilogy that also included Sailing and Sally's Pigeons , footage of pro-choice rallies were littered across the screen turning an 80s feel-good number into the political statement it always was deep down. This reviewer was admittedly left teary by its power and timeliness in light of Roe v. Wade.

Jon Stevens made it a trifecta of great acts with huge Vegas-like production, smashing out the hits of Noiseworks and INXS to an ample early turn out (the Arena was as packed as we've seen it since prior to Covid). His tenure in INXS may have been brief, but his version of Never Tear Us Apart was simply electric as he called out “God bless you Michael!" at the song's conclusion.

A festival for adults that featured excellent lights and visuals all night, and no acts getting the “support band treatment," it was a raging success by any measure. If it is the last time we see Sir Rod sailing to our shores, we'll remember him, appropriately, as one of the great showmen.

Rod Stewart announces 2023 Australian tour with Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens

It comes after he cancelled an Australian tour back in January

Rod Stewart has announced an eight-date Australian tour for next March, all dates of which will see him joined by Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens .

It’s the fourth time Stewart has slated the run – dubbed ‘The Hits! Tour’ – for Australian audiences; he first announced his return Down Under back in October of 2019, booking it in for the following March. The tour was then postponed to October 2020 on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that August, it was moved to the first half of 2022 . At the start of this year, the tour was officially cancelled altogether.

Nevertheless, the new dates will cover all of the cities Stewart had been booked to perform in; the run will kick off in Perth on Saturday March 11, when he, Lauper and Stevens take to the stage at RAC Arena. They’ll head to Melbourne next, playing Rod Laver Arena the following Tuesday (March 14), before moving on to play shows Geelong, Adelaide, Mount Cotton and Sydney. To wrap up, they’ll deliver winery shows in the Hunter Valley and Bowral.

Tickets for all eight of the shows go on sale at 1pm local time this Thursday (November 17), with pre-sales running from 11am tomorrow (November 15). Find tickets here for the shows in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney, and here for everywhere else.

Stewart’s last Australian tour went down in 2015, when he was touring off the back of his 28th album, ‘Time’. He’s since released three more albums: ‘Another Country’ that same year, ‘Blood Red Roses’ in 2018, and ‘The Tears Of Hercules’ in 2021.

Meanwhile, last month saw Stewart rent a home for a family of seven Ukrainian refugees . The veteran pop rocker and his wife, Penny Lancaster, have claimed that they’ll pay the family’s rent and bills for at least a year; in an interview with the Daily Mirror , he said he believes it’s his duty to help others after he was knighted six years ago.

Earlier in the year, he surprised drinkers at a pub in Glasgow by stepping behind the bar to serve pints.

Rod Stewart’s 2023 Australian tour dates are:

MARCH Saturday 11 – Boorloo/Perth, RAC Arena Tuesday 14 – Naarm/Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena Saturday 18 – Djilang/Geelong, Mt Duneed Estate Tuesday 21 – Kaurna/Adelaide, AEC Arena Saturday 25 – Jungalpin/Mount Cotton, Sirromet Wines Wednesday 29 – Warrang/Sydney, Qudos Bank Arena

Rod Stewart & Cyndi Lauper Announce 2023 Australian Tour

Eight massive shows across the country!

Sir Rod Stewart will return to Australia next year alongside Cyndi Lauper for a string of dates across the country.

The two legends, joined by Noiseworks singer Jon Stevens , will touch down in Perth on March 11, before venturing to Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, Mount Cotton, Sydney, Hunter Valley and Centennial Vineyards.

It’s been confirmed that Stewart will perform a “massive two-hour set from his vast catalogue of hits”, including tracks from 2021’s The Tears Of Hercules , while Lauper delivers “all of her most loved songs” across an hour set.

Back in January, Stewart was forced to axe his long-awaited return to the country due to “the ongoing surge of Covid in Australia and the reimposition of entertainment venue capacity limits in several states”.

The tour was first announced back in 2019 for October of 2020, but was postponed to March of this year before being cancelled completely.

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

At the time, he shared: “My dear friends, once again I feel we’ve all been cheated by this evil disease, so it is with great regret that I announce my shows for 2022 have had to be cancelled.

“My thoughts are with all your families at this difficult time as we come out of the joyous and hopefully safe holiday season and I look forward to returning to Australia as soon as the health situation permits.

“I’m absolutely gutted with disappointment and when I do eventually get there we‘ll have the party to end all parties. Guaranteed!

Fans attending shows will not only be spoilt with the presence of the living legend, Sir Rod himself, but also his very special guests. Sir Rod Stewart will be joined on his 2023 tour by revered artist Cyndi Lauper. Lauper is not only a ground-breaking talent but a Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performer. Her iconic voice, influential punk glamour and infectious live shows catapulted her to stardom.

Opening for all shows on the tour is also acclaimed rock singer Jon Stevens. As the frontman for Noiseworks he is a member of that exclusive club: the Kiwis who are so successful and talented that we claim them as our own.

Sir Rod Stewart’s rekindled love for songwriting is clear on his 31 st studio album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES . It is Stewart’s fourth new album of original songs since 2013, when he reconnected with his songwriting muse to record Time , the chart-topping album which entered the Top 10 in the US and ten countries worldwide, including #1 in the U.K. You won’t want to miss out on this show-stopping tour, but you better act quickly as we expect it’ll be a sell-out event!

Hints and tips for improving your chances of getting tickets to Rod Stewart’s 2023 Australian Tour

Make sure you have a my ticketmaster account.

Get the basics covered before tickets go on sale by logging in and checking your Ticketmaster account ahead of time. If you don’t have a Ticketmaster Account then make sure you sign up in advance – Ticketmaster.com.au .

Sign into your My Ticketmaster account ahead of time

Remember to triple check your passwords, account information, and billing information are all filled in correctly in advance, that way you’re not facing any last-minute account updates when trying to process your order.

Keep your options open with ‘Best Available’

Save time by searching “Best Available,” which scans all sections fast – it’s quicker than searching sections one at a time.

Keep an eye on the clock

There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as you are progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).

Don’t refresh your screen

Stick to one window while you’re in the Waiting Room and when you’re being pushed through the Smart Queue and always resist the urge to refresh.

Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue and, as frustrating as it can get, patience is the only way to win this game. Ticketmaster is equipped with sophisticated systems that are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.

Remember: there are a lot of fans

We’re expecting this to be a very popular event. When a popular event goes on sale there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of customers all attempting to purchase tickets at the same time. Tickets are sold as long as seats are available, and when an act is this popular, sometimes they go very quickly.

Be sure to follow the above tips to ensure you have the best chance of snapping up some tickets.

Rod Stewart, with very special guest Cyndi Lauper, will be bringing their tour to Australia in March 2023. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.au.

Following the extraordinary success of his previous tours, Sir Rod Stewart’s 2023 dates promise show-stopping classics and new hits in his unmissable, captivating style. He is one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, with an estimated 250 million records and singles sold worldwide; his performance will include fan favourites from across his impressive career, as well as the first live performances of tracks from his current album THE TEARS OF HERCULES.

Sir Rod Stewart has been lauded as the finest singer of his generation; he’s written several songs that have turned into modern standards, earned many of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, Grammy™ Living Legend, and is a New York Times bestselling author. In 2016 he was knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.

Sir Rod Stewart’s rekindled love of songwriting grows stronger on his 31st studio album, THE TEARS OF HERCULES. It is Stewart’s fourth new album of original songs since 2013 when he reconnected with his songwriting muse to record Time, the chart-topping album which entered the Top 10 in the US and ten countries worldwide, including #1 in the U.K., where it’s been certified double platinum. For his latest, Stewart wrote nine of the album’s 12 songs, including the first single, “One More Time”.

Lauper is a ground-breaking Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performing artist with global record sales in excess of 50 million. Her iconic voice, influential punk glamor, and infectious live shows have catapulted her to stardom. Lauper won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist with her first album, She’s So Unusual , and became the first woman in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album. Since then, Lauper has released ten additional studio albums, yielding timeless classics like “Time After Time” and “True Colors,” and the anthemic “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” She has been nominated for 15 Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, seven American Video Awards, and 18 MTV Awards. In 2013, Cyndi Lauper became the first solo woman to win Best Original Score (music and lyrics) for Kinky Boots .

Jon Stevens is a member of that exclusive club: the Kiwis who are so successful and talented, we claim them as our own! As front man of Noiseworks, he was part of four Top 10 albums and 12 Top 50 singles, including the classics No Lies , Take Me Back , Touch and Hot Chilli Woman . He then fronted INXS for more than three years, which included a gig at the Sydney Olympics’ closing ceremony. Stevens grew up listening to Sir Rod Stewart, and his 2011 album Testify! included a cover of Open To Ideas , co-written by Rod Stewart and one of the last songs the Faces recorded.

Rod Stewart review – glam can’t hide songs sailing past sell-by date

Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham There’s swagger in his wardrobe, and a few ageless classics delivered with gusto, but there’s a lot here showing its age

O pening a set with a cover is an unusual choice. Opening a set in 2022 with Robert Palmer’s 1986 hit Addicted to Love, in a delivery that embraces its dated production and sickly smooth sheen, is even odder. But in the world of Rod Stewart , it makes perfect sense. Aside from being perpetually locked into the 1980s – he emerges with trademark spiky blond hair, clad in a garish sparkly suit – the 77-year-old now has enjoyed a near 60-year career, the success of which is as much down to covers as it is originals. This is quickly hammered home by the fact that, four tracks in, Stewart covers Robert Palmer yet again, this time tackling the late singer’s take on the Persuaders’ Some Guys Have All the Luck.

Occasionally, he overlaps into pure magpie territory, as on Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?, a track Stewart has admitted involves “unconscious plagiarism” when it comes to lifting from the Jorge Ben track Taj Mahal, and which takes its synth hook directly from a Bobby Womack song. Naff lyrics and light plagiarism aside, the track as performed tonight is an undeniable disco stomper, with Stewart’s extensive band (which runs into double figures) locked into a taut, sultry groove.

Plenty of Stewart’s own tracks get an outing, such as the still-euphoric synth pop barnstormer Young Turks, but occasionally it becomes clear why he leans so heavily into others’ material. One More Time, taken from his most recent album, is an embodiment of where Stewart is in his career: its protagonist tries desperately to lure one last sexual encounter out of an ex in much the same way Stewart ploughs into his reserves to try and pump out one last late-career sex banger. It’s an undeniable stinker and low point of the evening.

Stewart has plenty of gold in his back catalogue to draw from, but it’s largely ignored tonight. Aside from Maggie May – a beautiful highlight – Stewart’s early folk influences remain buried under ballads, mid-tempo rock and sex pop. Stewart happily leans into the glossier, often cheesier and more commercially successful parts of his career, embracing his glitter-suited lounge act fresh back from Vegas vibe at the expense of his one-time earnest singer-songwriter.

Of course, he may be tiring of cranking out the hits. “I’m not retiring, but there comes a point where you need to change,” he said recently. “I don’t want to be singing Hot Legs and Tonight’s the Night when I’m 80. I’ve got something I want to move on to, something I’m passionate about – jazz.”

If this is the chance to hear Stewart’s gravelly, honey-coated voice belting out the hits then he makes some odd choices to depart on. The decision to have his backing singers perform even more covers – Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff and LaBelle’s Lady Marmalade – while Stewart changes into another gaudy outfit offstage feels simply overkill. But a stripped-back acoustic run of tracks that includes Handbags and Gladrags, Tonight’s the Night and I Don’t Want to Talk About It feels more like the emotive farewell you may expect.

That said, as much as Stewart says he might pivot to jazz, he also once claimed he was going to stop playing Hot Legs due to it being too inappropriate for modern audiences. But that gets an outing tonight – although cut short before the most problematic lyrics – so who knows if this really is goodbye. The inevitable closing song, Sailing, turns into a tribute to the late Queen and inspires the kind of mass singalong you’d expect. It’s a strangely fitting end to the evening – although undeniably distinct, hugely successful and occasionally truly singular, Stewart still chooses to exit under another figure’s shadow.

Rod Stewart, back to tour the US, talks greatest hits, Jeff Beck and Ukrainian refugees

The year was 1978, and a musical monster named Disco roamed the land. Rod Stewart had helped pioneer blues rock but decided this beast needed placating.

To this day, 45 years later, “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” remains , along with the lilting “Maggie May,” one of the singer’s signature tunes. You’re sure to hear both when catching Stewart on his expansive U.S. tour, which starts Saturday in Sparks, Nevada, traverses North America and ends with a six-date Las Vegas residency in November.

Does he have any regrets about going disco?

“It’s called jumping on the bandwagon, mate,” Stewart, 78, says with a laugh.

“It’s like my friend Jeff Beck said after he did ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining,’ it’s like a pink lavatory seat hanging around your neck forever,” he says. “Same for me. I didn’t know if I was ashamed of it because the critics hated it. But the public loved it. And that’s what counts.”

Stewart exudes energy in a recent video conversation from his estate in England, prior to a series of British dates preceding his Stateside run.

In a wide-ranging conversation, he tackles topics such as his late bandmate Beck, selling his music catalog and housing Ukrainian refugees.

And then there’s the matter of this reportedly being his last greatest hits tour ever.

“I’m not saying I won’t sing ‘Maggie May’ ever again, but it’ll be the end of the tours that I’ve been doing for a million years,” he says, adding that he is most keen to work on a new swing music album with band leader Jools Holland.

Recently, Stewart posted a clarifying letter to fans on Instagram. “I shall never retire! I was put on this earth to be a singer,” he wrote. “I could never turn my back on the songs that I’ve written and sung over the past six decades. They are like my children.”

Stewart on the hunt for the best home for his back catalog, deals that have netted some rockers millions

Those songs make up a catalog of hits with few rivals. Not just the radio smashes such as “Hot Legs,” but wildly successful covers of great American songbook standards.

Stewart says he’s personally working on finding a home for that collection, a legacy-securing move that recently earned around $500 million for Bruce Springsteen and around as much for Bob Dylan.

“The dollar amount matters but I would be OK with less if I knew it was all being handled right,” he says. “It’s taking a while, and I’m not getting any younger.”

Stewart remains saddened by the loss of Beck, who died at age 78 in January after contracting bacterial meningitis. Stewart’s signature rasp broke out as a staple of The Jeff Beck Group.

“(Rolling Stone's) Ronnie (Wood) and I were talking about him during the recent tribute concert in London, and I told the audience, Ronnie and I might not have been known if it wasn’t for Jeff taking us to the United States and showing us the ropes,” he says. “We owe him a lot.”

Stewart famously had a contentious relationship with Beck later in life, with reunion plans always a subject of heated debate. But the mutual respect remains apparent.

“Me and Woodie weren’t that close to him, he had his demons and could be a bit distant,” he says. “But the love was there. He loved me for my voice, and I love him for his guitar playing. He listened when I sang and reacted. Most guitar players don’t listen.”

Stewart is selling his $70 million Los Angeles home, but he doesn't hate LA

While those old times are never far from his mind, Stewart is also resolutely and excitedly focused on the future. He and his third wife, Penny Lancaster, who he married in 2007, have two children and spend so much time in England now that Stewart has put his Los Angeles mansion on the market for $70 million.

But, Angelenos take note, he does not hate LA.

“Someone said I was selling because I thought LA was toxic, and I never said, that,” he says. “I love LA, and if I don’t get the price I want, I won’t sell it.”

One item that he has moved out of his California home to England is a massive model railroad, some 50 feet by 35 feet complete with a post-war scale model city built in large part by Stewart himself.

“Took me two years to move it, but I work on it every day,” he says. “I wake up, do my emails, work out, then by 10 a.m. I’m in there working on it until I’m needed in the house. A model railroad is never complete.”

Speaking of working out, the famously soccer-crazy Stewart doesn’t hit the pitch as much these days after knee and ankle surgeries, but he still supports the Glasgow, Scotland, squad Celtic, in tribute to his passion for deep Scottish roots on his father’s side.

“I’m so proud of being Scottish,” he says, which explains his latest venture: Joining a group of friends in distributing a new blend of Scottish whiskey he’s called Wolfie’s.

The business venture echoes those of other celebrities, such as Sammy Hagar (tequila and rum) and George Clooney (tequila). “I wasn’t a whiskey drinker before, but this has me very excited,” he says.

Upset by the war in Ukraine, the World War II history buff decided to house refugees

Stewart has found another passion. Helping Ukrainians displaced by the war. In addition to sending his nephews with trucks full of staples to the country’s border, he recently rented out a home in England to house a refugee family, some of whom now work on his grounds. Why?

“Because I remember World War II, and if those pictures of Ukrainian refugees had been in black and white you’d have thought it was 1939,” he says.

That’s why in addition to “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy,” Stewart has added a new staple to his sets, the song “Rhythm of My Heart.” He comes out dressed in Ukrainian colors and puts up photos of refugees and Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“I give him a big salute,” he says. “I hope to make people aware that if Master Putin gets his way, it’s the end of the world as we know it.”

It's a world Stewart has spent more than a half-century filling with song. Like his pals in the Stones, The Who and The Beatles, he is likely to carry on until the final whistle. He said as much in that Instagram post: "I will keep doing this for as long as the good Lord lets me."

UPDATE (13/1): After two years of waiting, Rod Stewart has been forced to cancel his upcoming tour of the country, only a couple of months out before his rescheduled dates were set to take place.

Initially set to take place in late in late October of 2020, the tour was rescheduled in August of that year, with the new dates set to kick off in March of 2022. Unfortunately, the difficult decision to cancel was made in the wake of the ongoing surge of Covid in Australia, and the reimposition of entertainment venue capacity limits in several states, according to a press release that went out this morning.

“My dear friends, once again I feel we’ve all been cheated by this evil disease, so it is with great regret that I announce my shows for 2022 have had to be cancelled,” Stewart said in a statement. “My thoughts are with all your families at this difficult time as we come out of the joyous and hopefully safe holiday season and I look forward to returning to Australia as soon as the health situation permits.

“I’m absolutely gutted with disappointment and when I do eventually get there we‘ll have the party to end all parties. Guaranteed!”

Though it’s currently unclear when Stewart may end up visiting Australia, Live Nation advises that all ticketholders will receive an automatic refund.

Just two months before Rod Stewart was supposed to arrive on Australian shores for his first local tour since 2015, the acclaimed crooner has now rescheduled his upcoming visit until March of 2022.

First announced back in November, Stewart was scheduled to visit Australia this October, performing a number of headline dates and A Day on The Green appearances. However, following border closures, travel restrictions, and a ban on mass gatherings as a result of COVID-19, these dates were thrown into disarray earlier this year.

Now, Live Nation has revealed that the forthcoming dates will not go ahead as scheduled, with the majority of performances being rescheduled to take place across March and April of 2022.

Unfortunately, the one casualty in the rescheduling of dates comes by way of Canberra, whose Federation Mall show on November 4th was unable to be moved around due to scheduling conflicts.

Tickets to all other performances will be valid for these new dates, while patrons unable to attend can obtain a full refund from the point of purchase, though refund applications must be submitted prior to 5pm on September 1st, 2020.

Rod Stewart at RAC Arena. w/ Cyndi Lauper, Jon Stevens. Saturday, March 11, 2023.

His latter-day reputation as a crooning balladeer belies just how cool the former Faces frontman once was.
