GLASTONBURY, England – British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart was joined by fellow singers Ronnie Wood, Lulu and Mick Hucknall for his sun-drenched “legends” slot at Glastonbury Festival on June 29 afternoon.
Stewart entertained a huge crowd on the Pyramid Stage, shouting “next” between songs to cram as many as possible into his allocated 90 minutes. The 80-year-old performed hits including Maggie May (1971), I Don’t Want To Talk About It (1971) and Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? (1978).
Hucknall, 65, duetted on If You Don’t Know Me By Now (1989), the song his pop band Simply Red took to the top of the charts in 1989.
Wood, 78, guitarist of English rock band The Rolling Stones and Stewart’s bandmate in English rock band Faces in the 1970s, joined him for Stay With Me (1971). Lulu, 76, then came on stage for Hot Legs (1978).
Mr Michael Eavis, who founded the festival that would become Glastonbury over five decades ago on his Somerset dairy farm, was pushed onto the stage in his wheelchair during the set to cheers. The 89-year-old waved to the crowd and was embraced by Stewart.
