His tribute to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is touching. It has been an absolute thrill to see 78-year old Sir Rod rock around Australian stages with a show that is still as much fun as the first time I saw him in Sydney in 1978. They tripped him up again when he went to pay tribute to Christine McVie calling her first band “Shitten Shack” instead of Chicken Shack and then blaming it on “those fucking dumplings”.įor the last three weeks, Australia has been treated to one of the most entertaining rock shows of all time.

Rod’s shows have a lot of conversation, all improvised and mostly about “right now” … like the Dumplings. From the moment he comes on stage he treats his audience like they friends he is meeting down the pub.

This is what makes a Rod Stewart show so great. He even missed his cue to sing in ‘Ooh La La’ because of the dumplings and had to start the song over. The Dumplings soon became part of the show with Sir Rod referencing “the fucking dumplings” throughout the performance. When the lights went down and Rod came on stage, it was all he could see from the stage. The funny thing was at this show for A Day On The Green in Mt Duneed while 20,000 eyes were on Rod, Rod was fixated on the Dumplings food van at the venue. Rod Stewart is as hilarious as he is entertaining.

Quick call Benedict Cumberbatch, Sir Rod and the Case of the Blinding Dumplings needs to be made into a Sherlock Holmes movie now.
