Sir Rod Stewart shares sweet photo of sons watching Glastonbury set
Sir Rod Stewart shared an adorable picture of his sons Aiden and Alastair watching his set at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday. The Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer took over the Pyramid Stage on 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. Two special guests included his children, who were cheering him on from the thousands-strong crowd.
The 80-year-old took to his Instagram on Monday morning to share a snap of Alastair holding little brother Aiden on his shoulders to get a better view of the stage.
In the snap, both sons were beaming from ear to ear as they cheered on their dad. "Two of my precious children at @glastofest giving their old dad support," Rod captioned the post. "Alastair and Aiden. Love ya boys!!"
Fans rushed to the comment section to gush over his set, with many calling it the best of the entire festival. One user said: "You were incredible best act of the entire festival."
"Rod you were fabulous...absolutely fabulous...you outshone any of the other performers there..you gave a 5 star performance," another posted.
One said: "Rod you were spectacular. I cried all the way through, danced and sang. Loved every minute. Thank you Sir," and another added: "You were absolutely fantastic and it was so heartwarming to see your family giving you so much love."
During Rod's set, there was a beautiful tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie. The legendary musician died in November 2022, but she was remembered at Glastonbury as Rod projected her face on the big screen.
The crowds were excited for Rod's huge set, with fans being kept cool at the front with cups of water as Glastonbury festival goers baked in the hot temperatures.
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.

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.

Taylor Swift-favoured Perthshire clothing firm celebrates a decade in business
Glencarse-based Little Lies' Sweet Jane dress, worn by superstar, have launched their 10 Pieces For 10 Years collection. A Perthshire clothing brand beloved by global superstar singer Taylor Swift is celebrating its tenth birthday. The singing sensation had been spotted stepping out in a velvet dress created by Little Lies' fashion designer Jade Robertson in January 2024. The multiple Grammy winner wore Jade's 'Sweet Jane' mini dress which sells for £58 while out for dinner in New York. As well as celebrities like Swift, Denise Van Outen and Helena Bonham Carter have been seen sporting Little Lies' pieces over the years. The Glencarse-based firm, founded by Jade and husband Stuart, began in a Kirkcaldy bedroom in 2015. Its name comes from a Fleetwood Mac song and its inspiration from the flowing outfits of rock goddesses like the band's Stevie Nicks. To mark the anniversary they have launched the 10 Pieces For 10 Years collection described as representing 'a decade of graft, heart and style'. Co-founder Jade said the company's biggest success was in still being in business after a decade which has seen a pandemic, cost of living crises and tough conditions for independent retailers across the board. Jade commented: 'Independent businesses have not had it easy over the last few years so we're delighted to be thriving in the current environment. 'There have been some incredible highs and some difficult times, but nothing pleases us more than seeing our customers all over the world loving the products we are coming up with right here in Perthshire.' Each and every Little Lies piece is created at their current rural Perthshire headquarters and the firm work closely with trusted manufacturers to bring their unique designs to life. Jade added: 'We are all about creating what we call 'future vintage' - the opposite of fast fashion, quality items you're going to love and wear again and again for years to come. 'That's been critical to the transformation and growth of the business over the past ten years and it is the key thing we hope to carry forward in to our second decade.' Following Taylor Swift's 2024 endorsement the business received a big boost. Jade said at the time: 'The response has been phenomenal – we sold out of the last few of the dresses that we had in stock and opened it up to pre-orders, and we've had customers from all around the world buying it. 'It has been bigger than anything we could have dreamed of, and that demand has gone across into our other items which has been great. 'It has opened us up to a new audience and we're delighted to have them checking us out. 'We are a small family business run by a small team and this was just so unexpected that we are mostly trying to play catch-up right now.'

Nervous flyers urged to stop common in-flight habit that can make them MUCH worse
Nervous flyers have been urged to stop a common in-flight habit that could make them feel much worse. Watching a film on a plane may seem like a pleasant way to pass the time. However, passengers have been advised against watching a specific genre if they feel uneasy while thousands of feet in the air. Research by Travel Republic revealed the most-watched types of films during flights. Drama, action and comedy made the top three, respectively, and were followed by thriller, adventure and documentary, among others. But there's one genre that they suggest not to put on during plane journeys, even though it places tenth on the list. Psychologist Rod Mitchell urged nervous fliers to avoid horror movies during their flights. He said: 'Horror films on planes are like drinking espresso during a stress test. 'Disaster movies, especially with planes or confined spaces, trigger your mirror neurons, making you feel the danger yourself.' Instead, he recommends watching animated films for something nostalgic and easy to watch, which may help to calm nerves. 'The secret weapon is familiar movies you've seen before. These low-intensity choices give your nervous system permission to downshift,' Rod added. Though film noir and mystery were found to appear the least on long-haul flights, they could offer a much-needed distraction to passengers. The psychologist explained: 'Puzzle-solving mysteries and adventure films are brilliant anxiety hijackers - they redirect worry from 'what if this plane...' to 'who's the killer?' 'But choose whodunits over psychological thrillers. 'These medium-intensity genres create beneficial absorption, making turbulence background noise rather than the main event.' Instead, he recommends watching animated films for something nostalgic and easy to watch, which may help to calm nerves Drama proved to top all the genres, with 254 films available to watch on flights, but the chaotic and emotional storylines may not be the best for passengers. Rod revealed: 'Heavy emotional dramas hit differently at altitude when you're already vulnerable. 'Your emotional defences are down when tired and confined.' He advised: 'Save the tear-jerkers and existential crises for solid ground.'
