Sir Rod Stewart takes another cheeky dig at his long-time pal Sir Elton John with stage mockery

Sir Rod Stewart has taken another cheeky dig at his long-time pal Sir Elton John by doing an impersonation of him on stage. The 77-year-old ‘Maggie May’ singer stuck on a spangly pink jacket and wacky sparkling sunglasses more suited to Elton’s wardrobe, stuck out his front teeth and mimed playing the piano.

He shared the moment as a meme to his 1. 2 million Instagram followers just after midnight on Wednesday (24. 08. 22) but affectionately captioned the clip of his gag: “Still love you, Elt. ” During the live performance, Rod giggled to the audience after his mockery.

It marks the latest in a series of pranks and ‘feuds’ between Rod and Elton, which have stretched over their 55-year friendship.

The friendly rivalry appears to have started when Rod put up billboards to promote his 1970s ‘Blondes ’ave More Fun Tour’ – prompting Elton to place rival boards opposite them showing his face and the message: “But Brunettes make more money. ” The humour came to a head in 2018 and threatened to turn nasty when Rod branded Elton’s tour “dishonest” and said it “stunk of selling tickets”.
