It's probably not going too far out on a limb to say that nowadays everyone knows the song Sailing, written by the Sutherland Brothers in 1972, or has at least heard it a few times on the radio. However, it was Sir Rod Stewart's 1975 version that made the song famous and turned it into the mega-hit it is today. But did you know that Sailing became the template for one of the best stadium anthems in Germany? Exactly. It was in March 1993 when the German singer, actor and entertainer Frank Zander...

Sir Rod Stewart should be more than proud of his Celtic Football Club. Although the Bhoys in Green were eliminated late in the play-off second leg in Munich, they put in a very strong performance in a 1-1 (0-0) draw and caused the six-time title winners more problems than expected. It was to be a big party in red and white - 75,000 spectators in the Allianz Arena were full of anticipation and expected a clear victory for their FC Bayern over the Scottish champions. Some of them were dreaming of...

Yesterday we reported on the ranking of the ten best Faces songs. And, as if he had read it, Sir Rod Stewart has now also compiled a hit list of what he considers to be the ten greatest songs of all time. The 80-year-old revealed his personal ranking of songs, some of which sound very familiar to us, to the English Express. So let's get started. Firstly, there's SONNY BOY by Al Jolson. ‘I grew up with him, I listened to him with my mum and dad,’ says Rod. ‘They loved it. My brothers loved...

When we think of legendary Rod Stewart concerts, this show from 1994 should not be forgotten, as Sir Rod's performance on the Copacabana made his way into the music history books and also - of course - into the Guinness Book of Records. New Year's Eve and the turn of the year are, in principle, a special time of year. People celebrate the transition into the new year, often in a private, very cosy atmosphere with friends or family, but often also at one of the big New Year's Eve shows in the...

The last month of the year is characterised by contemplative Christmas celebrations and an often lively party at the turn of the year with music, dancing and fireworks. Especially at Christmas, it is customary to shower loved ones with presents, often in the form of CDs, LPs or concert videos. Christmas sales have therefore always been THE end-of-year business for musicians of all genres, and many new works are placed in shops and online shops in the weeks and months leading up to Christmas in...
