Cheers MIXED with shouts of ‘Enough, Stop Rob’ – Rod Stewart, 80 – Could Glastonbury 2025 be his Last Great Performance?
Rod Stewart mistakenly introduces Lulu early during Glastonbury Legends slot
Sir Rod Stewart took to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday for the Legends slot, and several special guests joined him.
Sir Rod Stewart accidentally introduced one of his special guests too early during his Glastonbury slot. The 80-year-old rocker, who was performing on the Pyramid Stage, spilled the beans on all of his “surprise” guests right at the beginning of his set.
After serenading the crowd with some of his greatest hits, he began to bring out his guest stars, including Mick Hucknall from Simply Red and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones, who was his former bandmate in Faces. There was also a moving tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, who died in November 2022. Scottish singer Lulu was another one of Rod’s guests, but her announcement did not go very smoothly.
During his set, Stewart introduced Ronnie and then Lulu, before he stopped and said: “Oh, Lulu is coming on in a bit.” She eventually came on later, wearing a stunning white suit, and sang a duet with Rod.

During their performance of Hot Legs, Lulu jokingly declared: “We’d make a great couple.” Rod then completed his gig with his classic hit, Sailing.
His performance went five minutes over time, which could be blamed partly on Rod changing his outfit three times. After his final song, Rod said: “We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done.”

On social media, there was a very mixed reaction, with some people left impressed with the 80-year-old and his performing skills.
One person said: “#RodStewart Fantastic performance from Rod at 80! Amazing #Glastonbury.” A second said: “Rod Stewart still got it at 80! #Glastonbury #RodStewart.”
However, not everyone agreed, as one person moaned: “Rod should call it a day after this #Glastonbury.”
Another also commented: “Rod Stewart isn’t that bad, once you’ve accustomised yourself to the key he’s singing in.”
