ROD Stewart can’t wait to start his two-year Las Vegas residency

Rod Stewart began his two-year residency in Las Vegas to wait, then they can go to bed and the jet can house 25 minutes after they are finished.

Rod's wife Penny Lancaster in August, starts at Caesars Palace with living in Los Angeles.

He said: “I’ve wanted to land a Las Vegas residency for a long time because I can fly home every night. It’s only a 25-minute flight back to LA after the show.

“I go on at 7.30, I’m ­finished at 8.30, I can be home in bed by 9.30.

“It’s a great place. I call it a Caesar Salad. I play at Caesar’s Palace and it’s got the best sound, the best chairs, it’s a fabulous ­venue, it really is.”

But dad-of-eight Rod, who has two sons Alistair, six, and Aiden, six months, with Penny, said he won’t ever retire.

He said, “I haven’t joined the pipe and slippers club yet – I do enjoy a night out with the boys and I still play ­football" .

“But, of course, if you don’t calm down when you’re 66 there’s something tragically wrong.

“But there’s no retirement on the horizon for me. In ten years from now, I’d dearly love to still be ­singing and be very much involved in music.

“And I’ll have two ­rambunctious boys who’ll keep me lively.”
