Rod Stewart's most astonishing Glastonbury moments in error-strewn set
Sir Rod Stewart gave a set to remember at Glastonbury Festival. The iconic singer took over the Pyramid Stage this Sunday afternoon in the important Legends slot and was joined by a string of special guests.
Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood and Lulu joined him for an exciting set including some of his biggest songs such as Maggie May, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy and Sailing - whilst he also sang other hits like Love Train.
However, the show didn't go off without a hitch - or a number of them. Here, The Mirror takes a look at Rod's huge hour and a half set and what exactly what happened when the iconic singer graced Worthy Farm.
Overheating
Rod was forced to leave the stage twice during his hour and a half set to make two different outfit changes. Amid the high temperatures at Worthy Farm, the heat seemed too much for Rod in his jacket and long-sleeved white shirt.
He then headed backstage to change into a bright pink suit as he told the crowd: "The girls are going to do a song for you while a change my shirt." The band then broke into a rendition of Lady Marmalade.
The second time, Rod's band sang another track as he disappeared, without warning this time, to change into a bright green suit.
Awkward announcement
Lulu was one of Rod's guests during this afternoon's set. However, her entry to the stage didn't go that smoothly. Rod introduced Ronnie Wood and then Lulu. Ronnie quickly made his way on stage but Lulu wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Rod stopped and said 'oh Lulu is coming on in a bit' as Ronnie grabbed his guitar and played for the huge Glastonbury crowd. Lulu then arrived later and sang Hot Legs with Rod in her stunning white suit.
Maggie May mess up
On one of his most famous songs, Maggie May, Rod appeared to mess up his introduction. The singer seemed to come in too early as he sang the huge hit, but that didn't stop fans from getting involved.
The song earned the biggest singalong of the set from the huge crowd, which was packed to the rafters as Rod took over the iconic Pyramid Stage for an hour and a half.
Late finish
Rod must have been enjoying himself so much that he finished his set a few minutes late. Amid the outfit changes and celebrity guests, Rod ended up finishing his set around five minutes later.
"We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done," he told the crowd before singing hit track Sailing. He also thanked all his celebrity guests for their part in his show, which was well received by fans.

Lily Allen moving out of swanky New York pad after sad David Harbour split
Smile star, Lily Allen, used to share a New York townhouse with her ex, Stranger Things star, David Harbour, but now they've split up, she's made a huge change Lily Allen has confirmed she's moving out of her home in New York following her split with David Harbour. The Smile star, 40, and Stranger Things actor, 50, got hitched in 2020, but called it quits last year amid reports of David's infidelity. Mum-of-two, Lily, bought the art deco home in Brooklyn with David shortly after their nuptials in Vegas and it even featured in posh magazine, Architectural Digest, thanks to its impressive features and stylish decor. However, Lily, has now left the property and bought an ex-council flat in London, where she's been busy throwing herself into decorating, which she says has 'helped' her through her 'hard time'. It comes as the star was spotted in the capital, wearing a diamond band on her wedding finger. READ MORE: Princess Andre eyes up Kylie Jenner empire as Katie Price says she's been 'shut out' Lily told The Mirror that she's been taking inspiration from interior design magazines for her new pad, which is believed to be in Notting Hill, sharing: "I'm really enjoying those at the moment. I've obviously had quite a hard time and that's really helped me." She also spoke about her new purchase, which she'll live in with her two daughters, on her Miss Me? podcast back in March, as she chatted to co-host Miquita Oliver. She shared: "This flat that I've bought, is in a social housing building, I have kind of given myself a 'get out' clause because it is slap bang in the area which I grew up in, so I don't feel like I am coming from outside and coming into the area and gentrifying it." Lily added: "I have wanted to live in this building since I was a baby, it's been a dream of mine forever and finally a flat became available in here and I was in a position to buy it and I did. But I know people have got judgement around it." With Parisian-inspired rooms and an enormous walk-in wardrobe, Lily's former townhouse was a sight to behold. However, the singer admitted she felt 'incredibly low' and lonely in New York as she opened up about her break-up. The Londoner, who confirmed her split from David in January, revealed that she felt 'extremely heavy' as she 'doesn't have that much to do here' in the city. She moved to Brooklyn in 2020 to be closer to David, enrolling her daughters in local schools. However, it's now all over for the couple, with Lily now back in Blighty and reportedly signed up to exclusive dating app Raya in an effort to move on from her marriage. She has already been romantically linked to actor James Norton. However, it was recently reported that he had been getting cosy with someone else. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said: "James and his female pal certainly didn't care who was looking. They were happy sitting outside the bar getting very cosy with one another despite the scorching temperatures across London." They added: "At one point, the woman was seen resting her hand on James' bare knees as they engaged in a deep conversation. It's a stark contrast from his recent date with Lily Allen, but it's clear that he's not short of female attention."

Zoe Ball makes 'sad' revelation after brutal response from daughter Nelly
Zoe Ball's insight into her family life comes after her dad Johnny Ball made a revelation about her relationship with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim Zoe Ball has opened up about a "sad" shift in the bond with her daughter Nelly. The 54-year-old is mum to 24-year-old son Woody Cook, and Nelly, 14, with her former husband Norman Cook, who is better known as Fatboy Slim. Speaking about sleeping arrangements on her latest Dig It podcast episode with Jo Whiley, Zoe expressed disappointment over her daughter's reluctance to share overnight stays with her. The BBC Radio 2 host revealed: "I love going to sleep in the same bed as Nel. When she's here, I'm like, 'Do you want to stay the night? It's a girl's night - wanna stay the night?' "And it's really sad when she just looks at me and is like, 'No mother' and shuts the door. Or looks at me and says, 'No mother, go to bed now'. "And my favourite thing [is], if you do get to share a bed with your kids, sometimes, I know it sounds creepy, but just looking at their faces as they sleep, it doesn't matter how old they are, you look at them and I always have those moments of just remembering their faces when they were babies and it's like, 'Look at you, all grown up'." Zoe frequently offers followers glimpses into her home life through her Instagram account, which features snaps of her children, her well-known father Johnny Ball, and her late mum Julia. However, one thing she prefers to keep private from fans is details about her love life. In photographs shared by The Sun in June, the broadcaster was spotted clasping hands with an unknown gentleman at Glastonbury Festival. A source revealed to the publication: "Zoe is down at Glastonbury as a punter and has brought her new boyfriend along for the ride. "They seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands. "She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back. "People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It's so great to see Zoe smiling again." Zoe was married to Fatboy Slim from 1999 to 2016, and according to her father Johnny, they're now closer than ever before. Chatting to Boom Radio, he revealed: "They're very good friends today. They're divorced, but they're better... if you like, they're closer today than they were when they were married. And that's a lovely thing." After their divorce, Zoe began dating Billy Yates, who tragically took his own life at the age of 40 in 2017. The TV host later embarked on a romance with Michael Reed, but their six-year relationship ended after they reportedly grew apart.
