Sir Rod Stewart's lookalike teenage sons make rare red carpet appearance
The Maggie May singer, 80, posed on the Leicester Square red carpet for The Final Reckoning alongside his wife Penny Lancaster, 54, and their two children – Alastair Wallace, 19, and Aiden Patrick, 14.
While Penny sported a yellow silky dress and white blazer, Sir Rod wore a velvet jacket with a frilly, unbuttoned white shirt and necklaces underneath.
The two teens wore matching black tie suits, and sported similar smart mousey brown haircuts too.
While Alastair was Sir Rod and Penny's first child together, the teen was the rocker's seventh child.
The Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? hitmaker's first child was Sarah Streeter, now 61, who he welcomed with his girlfriend of the time, Susannah Boffey, when he was just a 'stone broke' teenager. She was put up for adoption, and they reconnected years later.
Sir Rod then welcomed Kimberly Stewart, 45, and Sean Stewart, 44, with ex-wife Alana Stewart,
Then came Ruby Stewart, 37, who Sir Rod shares with ex-girlfriend Kelly Emberg, before he and ex-wife Rachel Hunter welcomed Renee Stewart, 32, and Liam Stewart, 30.
Alastair, who is finding his feet in the world of modelling, seems to have a close relationship with Sir Rod, as they often pose together on social media.
A few months after Aiden's birth in 2011, Sir Rod explained that he was hoping to enjoy his kids, rather than focus on his career.
He told People: 'I'm trying to make more time now that I've carved out my career. I want to enjoy my kids. We're all planning a massive vacation somewhere.
'It's hard to get them all together because they are all off in different directions. But I am so proud of them.'
In 2022, Sir Rod revealed Aiden had been rushed to hospital after he collapsed during a football match.
Sir Rod said: 'We thought my boy had a heart attack.'
Speaking to FourFourTwo magazine, the singer continued: 'He was going blue and was unconscious until he calmed down. It was scary, but it turned out to be a panic attack. The lad wanted to do well, pulled on the Hoops in Scotland for his dad.
This comes in a big year for Sir Rod – who turned 80 in January – as he is set to perform the coveted legend slot on Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage in June. More Trending
The legend slot sees music icons of decades-long, award-winning, chart-topping calibre take to the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday afternoon of the festival each year (usually kicking off from 3.15pm to 4.30pm).
While there was some backlash at Sir Rod filling the slot, with huge hits including Maggie May, I Don't Want To Talk About It, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?, All For Love, and Sailing, he does fit the bill.
Just last year his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra album with Jools Holland got him his 11th No. 1 UK album, and he's one of the best-selling artists in history having sold over 250million records worldwide.

Kneecap bring surprise guest on stage at Green Man
Kneecap bring surprise guest on stage at Green Man Irish rap trio Kneecap addressed the BBC's decision not to live stream their Glastonbury Festival set as they welcomed Welsh cafe owner Helen Wilson on stage at Green Man The trio performed at this year's Green Man festival in Bannau Brycheiniog (Image: Parri Thomas - @photo_parri) Irish rap trio Kneecap launched a scathing attack on the BBC during their Green Man Festival performance on Thursday evening, with the group chanting "f*** the BBC". The band slammed the broadcaster after it refused to air their Glastonbury Festival set live. Throughout their politically-charged show at the festival, the Belfast-based group also spoke about their continued backing for Palestine and band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's forthcoming court date. Thousands of festival-goers packed their Far Out stage performance, with crowds overflowing beyond the venue. The trio also brought Helen Wilson onto the stage - the Welsh café proprietor who livestreamed their Glastonbury appearance on TikTok to millions of viewers. The band hailed Helen as their "hero". "Diolch," they said to the Green Man audience. "It's not a bad crowd for our first time playing in a festival in Wales.", they went on: "We recently played Glastonbury and the BBC wouldn't live stream our set. F*** the BBC." They continued: "So the BBC, they said that they wouldn't show Kneecap live... but there was one woman. Do you know who we are talking about?". Article continues below "There was one hero who decided to TikTok live our gig, and she's from Wales. Can we have a massive round of applause for Helen?". The café owner appeared alongside the trio on stage and was spotted embracing band member Móglaí Bap as the audience erupted in cheers. In June, demands emerged to cancel their Glastonbury appearance, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer declaring the planned performance at Worthy Farm was not "appropriate", following charges against band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, for a terror offence related to displaying a Hezbollah-supporting flag during a 2024 gig. Mo Chara has rejected the allegations, branding the terror offence charge a "political" manoeuvre intended to "silence" the group. Festival organisers at Glastonbury declined to axe the trio's slot on the West Holts stage. The BBC opted against live streaming their set, though they subsequently made a largely uncut version available on BBC iPlayer.

The BBC stated at the time: "Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. "We don't always live stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets." During their appearance on the Far Out stage at Green Man Festival, the band also referenced Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's forthcoming court date, mentioning he would return to court "next Wednesday", apparently confirming the hearing would occur on Wednesday, August 20. On stage, the rapper declared his intention to challenge the British government in court once again, stating: "to beat the British government in their own court for the second time". He further explained: "they stole our funding two years ago, and we went to court and we won," referring to the band's previous legal victory against current Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch, who had blocked an arts grant to the band in 2023. Liam added: "And this time, we are going back to their court and we're going to beat them again." The band revealed that it was their debut performance at a Welsh festival, referring to the audience as their "Celtic brothers". They expressed: "Celtic brothers have to stand together as we can't trust the British government". The band later emphasised the importance of "international solidarity" in the current times. "We are from west Belfast and Derry. Places that know colonialism all too well, as you know yourselves," they shared with the crowd. The band pledged to continue speaking out about Palestine, describing the situation as a genocide and leading the crowd in a "Free, Free Palestine" chant.

This year's Bannau Brycheiniog event will feature performances from the likes of Underworld, Wet Leg, CMAT, Perfume Genius, John Grant, Wunderhorse, Gwenno and English Teacher.

Kelly Clarkson's ex Brandon Blackstock's cause of death revealed
Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's official cause of death has been revealed. Last week it was announced that the ex of the American Idol star, 43, had died at the age of 48. 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,' a representative confirmed to People. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' A few days on the publication reported his official cause of death. 'Brandon Blackstock passed away peacefully at his home in Butte, Montana on August 7th under hospice care surrounded by his family,' Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis said, confirming that Blackstock's cause of death was melanoma, a form of skin cancer and that the manner of death was natural causes. The document has now revealed that Blackstock had cancer for three years before his death. Seizures were also listed as 'significant conditions contributing to death but not resulting in the underlying cause.' Blackstock was a talent manager, who once managed Blake Shelton and Clarkson, and was also the former stepson of Reba McEntire. His death certificate listed his occupation as a rodeo producer in the rodeo industry. It also revealed that no autopsy was performed and Blackstock was cremated. Clarkson and Blackstock began dating in 2012 before tying the knot in 2013. News of his death was revealed publicly just a day after she announced the postponement of the rest of her August Las Vegas residency dates in order to look after the former couple's daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9, saying that her ex-husband had been 'ill'. Clarkson and Blackstock announced their split in 2020, and a bitter divorce battle followed, finalising in 2022. In recent years, he had settled in Montana to focus on founding Vallet View Rodeo, going 'under the radar' following his career in show business. 'He was at home in Montana,' a source told US Weekly, reflecting on his last weeks alive and death. They said he spent 'more [time] than ever before' with his family while undergoing treatment during the last six months of his life. Clarkson was not caring for Blackstock, they said, but she made sure their children, River Rose, 11, and Remington Alexander, nine, spent time with their father. 'She did spend a lot of time traveling with her kids to be with him,' the insider shared. 'He loved having his family with him and loved when the kids would visit,' the source said. 'He loved his animals and that was a passion he shared with his daughter Savannah.' Blackstock also has two children – Savannah, 23, and Seth, 18 – with his ex-wife, Melissa Ashworth, from whom he split in 2012. Savannah, who announced her second pregnancy just weeks before her father's death, was allegedly 'with him almost all the time' in the end. 'She has been having an incredibly difficult time. They were very close. Everyone is in shock,' the insider said. They continued: 'Even a few months back he looked okay. He looked thin but he looked like himself. No one can believe it.' Clarkson, 43, cancelled dates in her Las Vegas residency ahead of the news to 'be fully present' with her children. More Trending 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' she wrote on social media. 'I appreciate your grace, kindness, and understanding.' While Clarkson is yet to comment publicly on the death of her former husband, it's believed she is 'devastated', especially for her children. 'When she found out that he was sick, she remained protective of him for their sake,' a source told People. View More » 'Kelly has always tried to keep things classy.
