Rod Stewart: ’I’m nearly 80, I can’t be singing about hot legs’

Rod Stewart – a whirlwind bundle of energy, fabulousness and fun, and that’s exactly what burst into the room at Glasgow’s Radisson Red on Saturday night, where I was set up to interview him. Picture the scene: Celtic had just won and Sir Rod was about to perform at the Barrowlands for the first time, taking to the stage at the Scottish Music Awards where he was also picking up a gong. It was a day for celebrations and he was certainly in a celebratory mood!
