Rock star reunion.
Rod Stewart was joined by several surprise guests — including his Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood — during his set at the Glastonbury Festival on Sunday.
Stewart, 80, kicked off his solo legends slot performance by playing some of his biggest hits, including “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright)” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.”
Then, the music icon shocked the crowd by bringing out Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall, 65, for a duet of “If You Don’t Know Me by Now.”
The next surprise came when Wood, 78, and Lulu, 76, joined Stewart on stage for his set. Stewart sang “Stay With Me” with Wood and “Hot Legs” with Lulu.
“Now it brings me real great pleasure to bring on the stage two — what I call — legends, along with me,” Stewart told the crowd before the pair came out on stage, as seen in a video from the festival.
Stewart also brought Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis, 89, out on stage to huge applause for the audience. They did a singalong together to Stewart’s song “Sailing.”
The set marked Stewart and Wood’s first performance together since the 2020 BRIT Awards.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Faces drummer Kenney Jones teased that the group was finally working on a new album with “about 11 tracks” recorded. Their last album was released in 1973.
“I can’t see it coming out this year,” Jones, 76, said in April. “But I can see it coming out next year. Everyone’s doing different things. We do little snippets [of recording] here and there. Then all of a sudden, The Stones are out [on tour] again, Rod’s out again…”
Stewart performed at Glastonbury after he was forced to cancel several concerts due to being diagnosed with the flu.
Earlier this month, the rocker told fans he was “devastated” to cancel four shows and postpone two in Nevada and California on his One Last Time Tour.
“I’m devastated and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience to my fans. I’ll be back on stage and will see you soon,” he said in a statement.
The “Maggie May” singer previously canceled his June 5 show in Las Vegas due to health concerns. He also bailed on his June 1 scheduled show in Sin City hours before his performance was set to begin.
In late 2024, Stewart revealed that he was taking a step back from the stage in the coming year.
“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” he said in a statement on social media. “I love what I do, and I do what I love.”
“I’m fit, have a full head of hair, and can run 100 meters in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79,” he added.
