Apparently Rod and a couple of his friends spent 26 years building this thing. Doesn't it look incredible?

At almost eighty, he still gives concerts and jumps around on stage. Impressive. 25 years ago he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The operation threatened to destroy his characteristic "raspy voice". After cancer treatment, he had to learn to sing again.

I worked with a Turkish bartender in Boston who used to play pickup soccer in NYC with him. He said (and I quote) “Rod Stewart man, he run like a fuckin’ rabbit man.”

Mate of mine was a removals man for him. Said that Rod was the nicest person.

He heard about how fellow model railway enthusiasts had their displays destroyed. He bunged then £10,000. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/nov/23/rod-stewart-helps-restore-model-railway-trashed-by-vandals

His wife tells a story that one of her watches went missing. It was a more ornate unique style. Six months later, she noticed an identical addition to his clock tower model.

I have Reason to Believe with Every Beat of My Heart his Downtown Train is more than an Infatuation, it's a Passion keeping him Forever Young.

If you ever have the opportunity to meet Rod Stewart, DO NOT MENTION TRAINS, you will be there for hours while he talks about trains and nothing else. Rod loves his trains.
