And said “It was an absolute honor to sing beside you Rod Stewart 🥹 You inspire me beyond belief. It was so lovely spending this week with you all. The band just sounded out of this world and I truly will never forget it. Love you girls Becca & Holly thank you for everything. My heart goes out to everyone that was affected by these horrible fires. I feel so grateful to have been there with you all at FireAid and to witness so much love and support. Thank you to everyone that tuned in and donated.”❤️
Rod told how one of his team members lost all their belongings to the devastating infernos, revealing, “My audio guy lost absolutely everything. He told me the most important thing he lost was his suits and tuxedos. I said, ‘Go and get yourself measured up. I’ll replace them’.”

And yet another birthday cake for Sir Rod
Young Rod Stewart now in colour cover
To help celebrate not only Rod’s 80th birthday but the approaching 80th birthday of the author Chris Southwood the book ‘Young Rod Stewart’ has been released in an AI colour cover.
Of the book Chris says In this paperback, I have combined two popular books under one cover. ‘Young Rod Stewart’ and ‘Angus’. Both stories, both lives, intertwined. ‘Young Rod Stewart’ is an enigmatic photo album of Rod back in the swinging sixties enjoying the fleshpots of London, Hastings, and Brighton. Replete with hippies, mods, rockers and my trusty motorbike. This was when we were both broke and young and before he became the rock legend he is today. A small section of our lives and friends in black and white. An epoch frozen in time.
‘Angus’ Is the story of Clive Amor affectionately known as Angus. This is about our schooling, about us kids growing up in the sixties, about party life and drugs and our friendship with Rod set against the backdrop of swinging London and the beaches of Hastings and Brighton.
This is about his death caused by Mandrake, about the press reports of the mysterious ‘parsnip’ in his be, witchcraft, and toads, about the coroner’s and pathologists’ inept conclusions, and why no one connected so many obvious pieces of evidence. “We owe it to his memory to find out,” said the coroner in 1967. We did find out, and it’s not what the coroner concluded. This book, Angus, party animal, is in memory of our friend.
