Rod Stewart celebrates 18th wedding anniversary with Penny Lancaster
Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster marked their 18th wedding anniversary with a trip down memory lane as they took the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Venice It's full steam ahead for Sir Rod Stewart, as the legendary singer put his recent health battles behind him to enjoy a luxury train ride with Penny Lancaster. The Glastonbury headliner, who cancelled a string of gigs earlier this month, looked dapper in pink as he celebrated 18 years of marriage with his wife. Sir Rod, who will play the Sunday teatime legend slot at Worthy Farm next week, and Loose Women star Penny looked happier than ever as they took a lavish trip down memory lane on Thursday. The Maggie May singer, 80, and the model, 54, started dating in 1999 before getting engaged in Paris in 2005 and tying the knot at the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino in 2007. Following their nuptials on 16 June 2007, the couple spent their honeymoon on the Lady Ann Magee yacht, which was anchored in Portofino. To celebrate their anniversary, the couple retraced their steps to these memorable locations by taking the the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Penny, dressed in a pink floral ensemble to complement Sir Rod's pink blazer, gave fans a glimpse of their romantic break on social media. Uploading some snaps from their trip to Instagram, Penny captioned the sweet pictures: "Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical Sir Rod Stewart xxxx." Sir Rod's anniversary comes as the iconic singer hits out at his one-time pal and neighbour, President Donald Trump. The dad-of-eight once rubbed shoulders with the businessman-turned-politician, but now finds him off his festive greeting list. The Hot Legs hitmaker shares a neighbourhood with Trump's Florida estate and was a regular at the Trumps' soirees. However, it seems their once-close bromance has fizzled out thanks to Trump's support of Israel. In a candid chat, Sir Rod revealed that their properties are less than a mile apart, yet he's "not a great fan" of the divisive President. Despite finding some of Trump's traits appealing, Sir Rod expressed his discontent with several aspects of Trump's behaviour, particularly during his time in office. "I'm not a great fan of Trump. I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house," Sir Rod confessed. He elaborated: "I live literally half a mile away." In an interview with Radio Times, he disclosed: "We're both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He's always been a bit of a man's man. I liked him for that. But he didn't, as far as I'm concerned, treat women very well." Yet, according to Sir Rod, Trump's ascent to the presidency marked a drastic transformation. "He became another guy. Somebody I didn't know," he remarked. Whether there's room for a thaw in their frosty relations remains to be seen. Sir Rod declared: "No, I can't anymore. As long as he's selling arms to the Israelis - and he still is. How's that war ever gonna stop?"

Rod Stewart enjoys 'wonderful' romantic break with Penny amid health setback
Music legend Sir Rod Stewart, 80, made time for some rest and recuperation amid his mega world tour as he enjoyed a romantic getaway with his wife Penny Lancaster Sir Rod Stewart has made sure to get some downtime amid his mammoth world tour, which has left him battling an unfortunate health issue. The music icon, 80, is in the midst of his epic One Last Time Tour that concludes in December and brings the end of an era for the star. Over the weekend, he thrilled fans in Milan, Italy, where he performed as part of the string of concert dates. Sir Rod was joined by members of his family including devoted wife Lady Penny Lancaster, 54, and their son Alastair, 19. However, with dates still to come in North America, South America, Europe and the United Arab Emirates, it seemed Sir Rod needed a break from the pressures of tour life. He managed to steal away for some time with Penny and head on a romantic break. The loved-up couple took a trip to the hotel Villa d'Este in the stunning Lake Como, where they kicked back on boat trips and tucked into lavish meals. Penny gave fans a glimpse into the break as she shared a sweet snap of her and Rod on a boat. She put her arm around her musician husband as she looked chic in a tiger print blouse with black tailored trousers. The Loose Women star kept her long blonde locks in loose waves and snuggled into Sir Rod by placing her legs over his knee. In another snap, the couple shared an embrace while Penny held onto a flower. Sir Rod rocked a white blazer with matching shirt and a black tie and trousers. The pair beamed at the camera, as Penny gushed: "One of the most wonderful, romantic, long weekend get aways. "So appreciative the opportunities we get to spend quality time together in our busy lives. @sirrodstewart #tour." Over the weekend, Sir Rod sparked concern for his health as he was left unable to speak. While in Lake Como, he walked around with a sign hanging around his neck saying that he was without a voice. The simple message stated: "Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest." Despite the setback, Sir Rod looked happy as he wandered around with wife Penny chatting at his side. While teenage son Alastair towered above his parents as he joined them in the Italian sunshine. Music fans have a last chance to see Sir Rod on the road as part of a huge world tour as he has signalled his One Last Time Tour will be the last of it's kind. In November last year he made it clear he wanted to scale back his performing - while also reiterating that he is not planning to retire. He said: '[This is] the end of large-scale world tours for me... [But I have] no desire to retire." Fans in the UK will see the Hot Legs singer take to the stage at Glastonbury. Sir Rod is set to hit the Pyramid Stage for the Sunday legend slot over the festival weekend at the end of June.
