I work like a dog to look like this. There's no easy option. I'm obsessed with my health. I love my life and want to live as long as I possibly can so I do whatever it takes. I eat right, I exercise, I'm a total fanatic and pretty much a germo-phobe.

We have 30 players so you're on for one half and then off, but it's still 45 minutes of running around a pitch.

"I also have a trainer five days a week. I do an hour or two hours a day, a lot of cardio to clear out the arteries. I'm Scottish and we have a history of heart problems in the family. It's all about cleaning out the fat on the inside." said Rod Stewart in Britain's Daily Mirror

Rod Stewart to rock Budapest Still wearing it well

Past performers at the open air concert drawing hundreds of thousands near City Park have included Santana, Elton John and Simply Red.

FOOTBALL TO FOLK

This year the arrangers have managed to attract Rod Stewart, who enjoyed his earliest successes as the lead singer of various bands and as a solo artist in the late 1960s. He started out, however, not as a musician, but as a footballer for FC Brentford. It was only in the early ‘60s that he began making music. Stewart was drawn to British folk music and joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) movement. A little later, however, he became fascinated by black rhythm and blues and learnt to play the harmonica while honing his guitar skills. Stewart’s first single "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" was released in 1964. Following various hit and miss attempts in a number of small bands, in 1969 Stewart decided to go it alone again. His first album An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down came out in 1970. At around the same time, however, he also joined The Faces, recording four albums with the group and remaining its lead singer until 1975.At the same time he recorded five further solo albums, all of which stormed the US and British charts. The then 31 year old did not rest: he got his own television show A Night on the Town in 1976 and continued to tour the world.

Ronnie Wood: 'Rod Stewart isn't ruled out of Faces reunion'

Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood has said that the band "haven't ruled out" getting original frontman Rod Stewart to play with them again.
The reuniting band have recruited Simply Red's Mick Hucknall as a replacement for Stewart, and are set to play the Sussex Vintage At Goodwood festival (August 13-15).
Wood told NME that Stewart wasn't on board because of schedule clashes, but claimed they were on good terms and he may join them in the future. Stewart in fact told fans at his O2 Arena gig last week (May 29) to give the Simply Red man "a chance" if they went to see the band live.
"We haven't ruled Rod out," he said. "It's just that his schedule is totally crossing over exactly when we wanted him. We've got Mick Hucknall because his voice is just like Rod's was in the '70s."
He added: "The door's not closed to Rod, but we're carrying on because it's worth it."
The guitarist said that the band may tour in January and hoped to play Glastonbury and other festivals in 2011.

Rod Stewart at the O2 Arena

Watching the swaying, singing audience at the O2 arena, it struck me that Rod Stewart would make the greatest wedding singer of all time. He’s a genial entertainer with a great set of pipes who gives the audience exactly what they want: the hits, some standards, a bit of soul, disco, rock ’n’ roll, romantic ballads and arms-linked singalongs. There’s even cheeky banter and interval time built in for toilet breaks.

“Is there anyone here from Essex?” Stewart asks, with a wink, before strapping 6ft-plus English model Penny Lancaster appears on stage in a red mini- dress, grinning and dancing rather gormlessly to his lively version of the Sam Cook classic Twisting the Night Away. “That’s the wife,” quips Stewart. “I actually told her to stay in the van.” And where else but at a wedding or a Rod Stewart concert could you expect to see a 65-year-old man with his jacket off, shirt tails hanging out, shaking his bony behind beneath a glitterball and asking if we think he’s sexy?

After 30 years as a world- beating superstar, Stewart knows how to put on a show. There is nothing cool about him any more, if there ever was.

The stage is so bright and clean, it is like a Sixties set from American Bandstand blown up for The X Factor, and the versatile band are constrained in tight suits, with backing vocalists in matching sexy mini-dresses. It looks and feels like a cheesy review show, not dissimilar to the kind of thing Cliff Richard puts on, although there is a time those two would have been at the opposite ends of the rock spectrum. The thing that raises the bar is Stewart himself. His hoarse, soulful voice has always been a distinctive instrument: there’s sensitivity in his delivery and there’s a way that he closes his eyes and delicately sways when he sings that suggests he still gets lost in these songs.

And what songs. His voice always sounded old; now when he sings Handbags and Gladrags he really could be the disappointed grandfather reprimanding his wayward granddaughter. After all these years, and all these hits, and all the albums of cover versions, there’s never a dull or self-indulgent moment. The 20,000-plus audience belt out his classics with him, and when he leads them through a mass choral version of Sailing, it is impossible not to be swept overboard.

The Faces Set to Reunite Without Rod Stewart

The Faces will no longer wait for Rod Stewart to reunite, announcing on their website yesterday that three of the original members of the legendary British band — guitarist Ronnie Wood, drummer Kenney Jones and keyboardist Ian McLagan — will team up with Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall and Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock. The group is set to perform as the Faces at this year's Vintage at Goodwood festival in England on August 13th. "It's exciting to be on this path again and I hope that the Faces fans are excited as we are," Wood said in a statement. "I'm just really looking forward to seeing them this summer — bring it on!"

As Rolling Stone previously reported, the Faces, without Stewart but with Hucknall and former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, reunited in October 2009 to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall. (Wyman, who will be replaced by Matlock, filled in for Faces bassist Ronnie Lane, who passed away in 1997.) In 2008, a Faces reunion with Stewart nearly took place: the group rehearsed to see if they "still remember[ed] the songs." But Stewart quickly quashed reunion talk by saying there would be no Faces concerts in 2009 as he was busy with other commitments. After the Royal Albert Hall gig, Wood, Jones and McLagan all expressed a desire to keep the reunion going, with or without Stewart.

"The timing is just right, we can feel the excitement and we cannot wait to be back on stage playing to a live audience again," Jones said in a statement. "It's going to be lots of fun." In an interview with the BBC, Wood also revealed that the band is in talks to bring special guests out on stage, including Noel Gallagher, Slash and the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson. "There's loads of people that have said, 'Please, let us sing with you.'" Wood said. The newly reunited crew is currently drawing up their schedule for a tour.

Rod Stewart made a US chatshow host gasp in shock - by making a grab for his tackle.

Cheeky Rod suddenly reached into Conan O'Brien's lap and gave him a playful squeeze while telling a story about groupies.Flustered O'Brien jumped up from behind his desk and shouted out: “Whoa! What the hell was that? You ran way up there!”

But giggling Rod didn't seem at all bothered and carried on with his story - moaning O'Brien had distracted him. He complained: “I've lost my thread now.”

And Rod even pretended to grab O'Brien again at the end of the show after he had performed.
