The veteran rocker invites Alan Yentob to his LA home to conduct an interview, in which Stewart looks back on a career spanning almost 50 years. He discusses working with acts like the Steampacket and Jeff Beck in the 1960s and his time with the Faces, whose offstage antics became legendary – as did the frontman’s affairs with a string of famous women. His solo career propelled him to superstardom with songs such as Maggie May and Sailing, and while the 1980s proved to be less successful, his constant reinvention has given him a lasting career. Having more recently become known as a singer of American standards, he talks about recording Time, his first album of new material in almost 20 years

And finally..
It was a bad end to the week when Rod and Alastair settled down to watch the Rangers v Celtic Old Firm match
Unfortunately for the Stewarts Rangers reduced Celtic’s Scottish Premiership lead to 11 points in stunning style as Philippe Clement claimed his first Old Firm derby victory at the seventh time of asking.
Ianis Hagi early on, then Robin Propper and Danilo after the break, produced the decisive moments as the hosts overwhelmed their opponents in front of a raucous home support.
The victory ends a barren run of results for Rangers against Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic, who had only tasted defeat once in 20 derby matches prior to this outcome.
But they soon cheered up with an evening out with Penny and Renee
See you next week on Rod’s big day!!
