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.
