Failing... he is failing: Rod Stewart is ‘legend’ slot flop

The first cut may be the deepest but the first note isn’t even the flattest, as veteran struggles to win back the Glastonbury crowd following his Farage remarks

Failing... he is failing: Rod Stewart is ‘legend’ slot flop

Read the room, Rod. To a slow-growing Pyramid Stage crowd - several regretting their choice of leopard-print leggings and mullet wig – Stewart arrives on a lavish Vegas stage in a Liberace jacket, fresh from pleading with the UK to “give Farage a chance”.

A chance to demonise immigrants, dismantle the NHS, ruin us all with die-bankrupt health insurance and let multimillionaires off with a bargain bin one-off tax payment for life, yes? Looks like Rod the Selfish Sod will have to put on a barnstormer to carry off the most pre-tainted legend slot in Glastonbury history.

Unfortunately, his famously grainy and lived-in voice is now totally shot, and he initially lacks much of the field-wise goodwill that carried Diana Ross through against similar odds in 2022.
