Rod Stewart's swear word revealed after he drops expletive on live TV
Rod Stewart accidentally swore while on stage at the AMAs as he was surprised by his children in an adorable moment.
Rod Stewart accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award onstage during the 51st American Music Awards on Monday night.
The singer, 80, arrived on stage to find himself surprised by five of his eldest children, who presented him with the award.
Kimberly Stewart, 45, Sean Stewart, 44, Ruby Stewart, 37, Renee Stewart, 32, and Liam McAlister Stewart, 30, were all clapping as their father arrived on stage.
'I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you're here,' accidentally dropping the F-word, according to MailOnline's reporter at the ceremony.
CBS, which aired the ceremony, cut away quickly to avoid airing the expletive and instead showed the audience members holding up their phones to film his speech.
Rod Stewart has eight children from five different relationships.
The star's eldest daughter is Sarah Streeter, who was born in 1964. Rod and Susannah Boffey gave their daughter up for adoption but reconnected later in life.
During his first marriage to Alana Stewart, the pair had a daughter, Kimberly Alana Stewart, born in 1979, and a son, Sean Roderick Stewart, born in 1980.
In 1987, Rod and Kelly Emberg had a daughter named Ruby Stewart.
During Rod's second marriage to Rachel Hunter, the couple had two children, a daughter Renee Cecili Stewart, born in 1992, and a son Liam McAlister Stewart, born in 1994.
Rod married his third wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart, in 2007 and the pair has two children. Alastair Wallace Stewart was born in 2005 and Aiden Patrick Stewart was born in 2011.
During his speech, the singer made a joke about how many children he has as he spoke about his long career in the music industry.
'I've got eight [kids] all together,' Stewart said, as he then joked, 'I didn't have a television.'
'That was a little joke,' he clarified. 'When I started singing in the early '60s, well before all of you lot were here, the reason I got into it [was] because I had this burning ambition to sing.'
He added humbly: 'It's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous, and here I am a few years later, picking up this wonderful award.'
Rod's wife Penny Lancaster Stewart also took to social media to share her pride.
'So proud of my man – lifetime achievement award,' said Penny with an image of her husband in a ruffled shirt and suit.

The singer has revealed that while he is 'proud' to return to perform on the Pyramid Stage, 22 years after he headlined the festival, it's going to cost him a great deal financially.
'It's going to cost me a fortune to do it – $300,000, (£ 221,640)' the Maggie May singer told Alan Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast in November 2024.
'I've got to bring all my band back from America, of course, Glastonbury don't pay for that.'
He then added that the cost didn't bother him as the slot was an 'honour': 'But I don't care if it cost me $ 1 million, I would have done it. This is a great honour. It really is the greatest honour.'

Roger Daltrey is 'nervous about making it to the end of The Who's final tour'
For over half a century, The Who have been a dominating force in rock. But now, as their final tour winds toward its close, Daltrey admits he's not sure he'll make it to the end. 'I'm going to be 82 next year,' he told The Times. 'Fortunately, my voice is still as good as ever. I'm still singing in the same keys and it's still bloody loud, but I can't tell you if it will still be there in October. There's a big part of me that's going: I just hope I make it through.' That candid uncertainty, delivered without self-pity, is typical of Daltrey. But it also reflects the toll that time and illness have taken. Nine years ago, he contracted meningitis, an infection that left lingering damage. 'It's buggered up my internal thermometer, so every time I start singing in any climate over 75 degrees I'm wringing with sweat, which drains my body salts. The potential to get really ill is there,' he explains. 'And, I have to be honest, I'm nervous about making it to the end of the tour.' Daltrey's relationship with physical punishment has deep roots. He believes his hearing was compromised long before The Who's amps reached legendary decibel levels – back when he worked at a sheet metal factory in Acton at age 16. Today, the damage is creeping in other directions. At the Teenage Cancer Trust concert in March, he told the crowd not only was he going deaf, but also losing his sight. He even joked that if he lost his voice too, he'd 'go the full Tommy .' When asked about his vision now, he answers simply: 'Not good.' He wears dark glasses due to incurable macular degeneration and roars with laughter when asked if he uses an Autocue on stage. 'There's no point. Can't f***ing see it!' And yet, there's no trace of resignation. the drive to deliver and to do right by the audience is undiminished.

More Trending 'But it's not easy when you're dealing with a partner who can be ambivalent about it.' The partner in question, Pete Townshend, has been openly apathetic about touring in recent years, describing it as more chore than thrill: 'So he says until he's out there — and he loves the money,' Daltrey chuckles. 'But look at those early Who concerts. Every night was a war. That's how we got the music across. We're not going to turn into f***ing Abba overnight, are we?' Daltrey still sees The Who's legacy as something earned with sweat and tears, night after night, in front of earsplitting stacks and roaring crowds. Got a story?

80s star looks completely unrecognizable in first sighting in months as he runs errands in LA – can you guess who he is?
AN 80s star looked completely unrecognizable in his first sighting in months as he ran errands in Los Angeles. He previously received five nominations at the Emmy Awards for his high-profile roles, winning an award in 1984. 8 Tom Selleck, 80, rose to fame in the role of private investigator Thomas Magnum in the TV show, Magnum PI. The actor starred in the high-profile role from 1980 until the cancellation of the series in 1988. Now he's been spotted running errands in the City of Angels. As well as his signature moustache and curly locks, the actor was sporting a thick beard when he was spotted out and about. The star wore a silver metal watch as he made his way out in a subtle black t-shirt, shorts and complementary sneakers. He made the rare outing in public before grabbing food in his California neighborhood. He started off at a local gym before heading to McDonald's for a Big Mac and a cup of soda - which he ate in the parking lot. After his meal, he was spotted filing undisclosed paperwork at an office building, before a trip to the convenience store. 8 ICONIC CAREER After his breakout role in Magnum PI, Tom later returned to the police genre in 2005, playing the role of Jesse Stone. He went on to make nine films within the franchise which were based on the novels by Robert B. Parker. Five years later, he played the role of New York City Police Commissioner Frank Regan on Blue Bloods until last year. He later urged CBS to continue with production for the drama for a fifteenth series. Tom admitted, "I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses. We're the third-highest show in all of broadcast. "We're winning the night. All the cast wants to come back. I can tell you this: We aren't sliding off a cliff; we're doing good shows." The reclusive legend has been laying low at his $12 million avocado ranch since the shock cancellation of the show last year. Tom also had appearances on sitcom Friends in the '90s and early '00s. 8 8 8
