Sir Rod Stewart pledges support to fundraiser for cancer-stricken Rangers legend Andy Gorman

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIn the unlikely rock-star mini-feuds department, Elvis Costello and Rod Stewart — who decades ago had discussions about making an album together — renewed what seems to be a frenemy-ship in recent days. They’ve tangled on social media in a humorously feisty way over what Costello considered to be a botched royal performance by Stewart, and what Stewart considers to be an unbecoming hairline on Costello’s part.According to the Daily Mirror (which Costello additionally took on… because hating the Daily Mirror is one thing almost all music stars can agree on), Costello took a few moments in a Glasgow show to get in a little dig at Stewart, who’s known as a major booster of Scottish soccer.

Rod Stewart and Elvis Costello have ended their feud. Maybe this is the first you’ve heard about their feud.

Rod Stewart and Elvis Costello have laughed off a so called spat between the two.It comes after it was reported that Costello branded the recent Platinum Jubilee concert, which was headlined by Queen, Diana Ross and Elton John, “shite” and singled out Stewart for criticism.“I mean, I know you all love him and he’s one of yours and everything, but Rod. What the fuck? I must say, listen we all have bad nights vocally, but for fuck’s sake, Sweet fucking Caroline,” he is reported to have said, according to the Mirror.“Are you fucking kidding me? I mean I’ve been in showbusiness 45 years so I do know a thing or two.

Sir Rod Stewart has sparked a furious Twitter feud with pop rival Elvis Costello, after his cruel comments hitting out at Rod’s Platinum Jubilee performance.Elvis branded the performance “sh***” after Rod took to the stage to perform Sweet Caroline for the Queen.He originally said: “The show was good, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? No, it was sh***.“I mean, I know you all love him and he’s one of yours and everything, but Rod. What the f***?“I must say, listen, we all have bad nights vocally, but for f***’s sake, Sweet f***ing Caroline.”He then said: “Are you f***ing kidding me? I mean I’ve been in showbusiness 45 years so I do know a thing or two.“How is it that nobody suggested Rod sing 'You Wear It Well?'”And he since clarified his comments, as he said: “If you read my actual remark, it was about the wrong-headed idea of asking Sir Rod to pass up ‘You Wear It Well’ to lead a f***ing singalong!”He added: “Have some damn respect.

Wasn’t it? No, it was s***e," he sneered."I mean, I know you all love him and he’s one of yours and everything, but Rod.

Elvis Costello has clarified his criticism of the Platinum Jubilee, including Rod Stewart’s controversial performance, after reportedly making savage remarks about it at a recent gig. The 67-year-old musician, whose hits include Everyday I Write The Book, performed in Glasgow, Scotland on his tour with his band The Imposters last week. During the gig, Elvis reportedly took a moment to share his thoughts on the Jubilee’s Party at the Palace concert, which took place at Buckingham Palace in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign, and featured performances from Sir Elton John, Alicia Keys and Diana Ross. Elvis was said to have ripped into Sir Rod’s surprise performance of Sweet Caroline, after many others called out the music icon’s vocals on the Neil Diamond hit. However, he’s since clarified his comments and tweeted: ‘If you read my actual remark, it about the wrong-headed idea of asking Sir Rod pass up “You Wear It Well” to lead a f*****g singalong.

Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart have celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary in style. The pair married back in 2007 in an intimate ceremony in La Cervara, Italy, and the couple look happier than ever 15 years later. In a sweet post on Penny's Instagram account, it showed the 77-year-old rock star with his model wife, 51, posing in front of a fancy stairwell before a dinner.The couple are celebrating the occasion slightly earlier than expected, however, with the official anniversary not until next Thursday.

Rod Stewart's wife has revealed that his vocal cords were affected by covid as he performed Sweet Caroline at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Rod Stewart almost had to pull out of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee concert at the last minute after losing his voice. The Maggie May star performed Sweet Caroline at the event – apparently because it's the monarch's favourite – but it seems it came close to not happening after the backstage drama.

Party at the Palace viewers have accused Rod Steward of 'butchering' Sweet Caroline as Prince George sang along with his dad Prince William. Stewart put on an energetic performance at Saturday's Party at the Palace.

Neil Diamond’s 1969 hit Sweet Caroline has become something of an anthem for the nation, but some viewers of Saturday’s Party at the Palace were less than impressed when Rod Stewart belted it out. The 77 year old rock icon took to the stage at the star-studded concert which came as part of a stellar four-day line-up of celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and her incredible 70 years on the throne.
