Sir Rod Stewart is set to take to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury for the festival’s coveted teatime legend slot today.
The Maggie May and Sailing singer, 80, has overcome his recent illness to celebrate six decades in the industry with a selection of greatest hits for the assembled crowd and audience at home.
And with six number one singles and ten number one albums in the UK under his belt, millionaire hitmaker Sir Rod certainly has a lot to pack in.
It’s difficult because they only gave me an hour-and-a-quarter slot. So I begged them: can I do another 15 minutes?’ he told Radio Times of the packed set list.
‘Because usually I play for two hours. It means that there’s a lot of songs that people love that I won’t be able to play. And I’ve got three guests coming on.’

Who is joining Rod Stewart on stage?
The singer is expected to bring three guests with him for the set, previously confirming that he’ll be joined by Faces bandmate and Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood.
As for the other two guests, he has teased that one will be Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall, telling The Sun: ‘Mick Hucknall and I are going to come up and sing She Was Only A Pilot’s Daughter But She Kept Her Cockpit Clean.
‘Only joking, he clarified. ‘We are going to sing If You Don’t Know Me By Now. And then Lulu is coming on.’

What are some of Rod Stewart’s most famous songs?
In the run-up to his Glastonbury set, Sir Rod has released his Ultimate Hits album, which contains each of his six number one singles.
These iconic tunes consist of Maggie May (1971), You Wear It Well (1972), Sailing (1972), I Don’t Want to Talk About It (1975), The First Cut Is the Deepest (1976), Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? (1978) and Baby Jane (1983).
With so much to get through, Sir Rod will likely be partaking in his usual gig routine of a ‘gargle’ of rum and coke.
‘The vocal cords need a lot of looking after. I mean, they’re absolute gold. I warm up for an hour, warm down for half an hour. And when I feel I’m losing my voice, I go into what they call “voice rest” and wear a little card around my neck that says “I can’t talk. Don’t talk to me,”‘ he revealed.
Why are people booing Sir Rod Stewart at Glastonbury?
Sir Rod sparked outrage from a certain corner of his fanbase this weekend by announcing his support for Nigel Farage.
With some fans already horrified by this endorsement of the controversial politician, Irish rappers Kneecap poked fun by asking their audience if anyone ‘was going to see Rod Stewart tomorrow?’
The audience erupted into spontaneous boos at mention of his name, as Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (stage name Mo Chara) joked: ‘He’s older than Israel.’
Social media users echoed the sentiment, with Anthony58340236 writing on X: ‘Do the right thing and boo Rod Stewart off the stage.’
‘I sincerely hope Glastonbury make their feeling known and boo Rod Stewart off the stage!’ wrote bobrmitchell.
He may be a living legend, but Sir Rod isn’t all too keen on the ‘teatime’ part of the billing.
‘I just wish they wouldn’t call it the tea time slot,’ he said to the BBC.
‘That sounds like pipe and slippers, doesn’t it?’
