Scotland fan Rod has to endure a rough European Championship defeat and boos

One Last Time was also the motto in Leipzig last night - Rod Stewart presented 23 songs from his huge repertoire of megahits to his fans in the sold-out Quarterback Arene, ensuring a successful evening for the majority of the audience.

However, there was one incident during the two-hour show. As usual, Sir Rod had images of the war in Ukraine shown on the large LED screen during his song "Rhythm Of My Heart" and had dressed up in a suit in the colours of Ukraine especially for this song. "I am dressed in the Ukrainian colours and I would like to dedicate this song to the people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian army. F**k Putin!" Stewrt shouted to the audience. The Brit had already taken a clear stance at the beginning of the war, calling for support for Ukraine and even rented a house in the UK for a family of Ukrainian refugees. He has dedicated "Rhythm Of My Heart" to the country in every concert since then.

In Leipzig, however, unlike in other cities on the tour, this commitment was anything but well received. It was followed by loud boos, which only died down after a while and were drowned out by cheers.

But Rod didn't let this or the interim result from Munich, where his beloved Scottish national team lost 5-1 to Germany in the European Championship opener last night, really spoil his mood.

Rod delivered hit after hit in his usual confident manner and was in much better form than his Scottish footballers in Munich, some 430 kilometres away.

Shortly after 10 pm, just at the start of the second half in Munich - the score was still "only" 0:3 - Rod Stewart bid farewell to his fans in Leipzig with his classic "Sailing".

Tonight, the Stewart troop is travelling to Berlin, where he will also be performing ONE LAST TIME in the sold-out Mercedes-Benz Arena. The concert starts at 8pm, followed by concerts in Hamburg, Cologne and Munich over the next few days.
