Rod Stewart accidentally reveals special guest for Legends slot performance

Rock legend Rod Stewart recently spilled the beans on his upcoming Glastonbury performance, inadvertently revealing the identity of his surprise guest star for the Legends slot: “We’re gonna do Glastonbury together,” Stewart casually mentioned during an appearance on a podcast, confirming the much-anticipated collaboration.

Throughout his illustrious career, Stewart has built an extensive list of musical collaborations, making it anyone’s guess as to who might join him on stage. With a career spanning over 60 years, Stewart has shared the stage with music icons like Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Bette Midler, Cher, Queen Latifah, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, George Benson, Elton John, and Dolly Parton, showcasing his versatility in musical genres.

Initially set to perform a one-off show with Billy Joel later this year, Stewart has had to pivot after Joel’s cancellation due to health concerns. Now, with Glastonbury being one of the largest stages an artist can perform on, it’s no surprise that other big names are set to join Stewart for this momentous occasion. The first confirmed guest to join Stewart on stage at Glastonbury is none other than fellow rock legend Ronnie Wood, known for his work with The Rolling Stones and Faces.

Having crossed paths with Wood in their early careers when both were part of the Jeff Beck group, their collaboration at Glastonbury will be a reunion of sorts, given their shared history in the music industry. Stewart and Wood’s musical journey began when they joined forces with the remnants of the Small Faces in the late 1960s to form Faces, alongside Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones. While Stewart embarked on a successful solo career, Wood found fame with The Rolling Stones, and now, their paths are set to converge once again at Glastonbury.

Wood’s involvement in Stewart’s Glastonbury performance was inadvertently revealed by Stewart himself during a candid moment on a podcast, indicating that there may be more surprises in store for the audience. With Faces bandmate Kenney Jones hinting at new music in the works, fans can expect an electrifying performance from these rock legends at Glastonbury.

Stewart’s upcoming appearance at Glastonbury adds him to a prestigious list of performers who have graced the festival’s Sunday afternoon slot, following in the footsteps of music legends like Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, ELO, Lionel Richie, Tony Bennett, Barry Gibb, Diana Ross, and Shania Twain, among others. Scheduled for Sunday, 29 June, Stewart’s performance promises to be a memorable event for both fans and music enthusiasts alike.

In conclusion, Stewart’s inadvertent announcement has generated buzz and excitement for his upcoming performance at Glastonbury, signaling the potential for a star-studded show with surprises in store for the audience. Stay tuned for what promises to be a legendary performance by Rod Stewart and Friends at this year’s Glastonbury festival.
