At the age of 68, Rod Stewart has returned to writing music and created the most personal album of his career. A year after its release, the great rocker is coming to the Austrian capital, where we will get to know his personal side on the first day of July.
Rod Stewart, who is famous for his signature raspy vocals, has become one of the best-selling artists of all time after bringing a number of great hits to the music world, including hugely successful albums like this Every Picture Tells A Story of 1971 or Blondes Have More Fun from 1978, which earned him his first Grammy nomination. It's okay, Rod Stewart has always been a force.
Even though he already impressed with the accordion in the early 1960s, he did not attract the attention of the general public until the end of the decade, or in the early 1970s. His first albums were full of fusion of rock, soul, R&B and folk music, aggressive blues that he burned with Jeff Beck Group and Faces, and later inspired generations of heavy metal. In 1975, he packed his bags and left his native England across the pond, where he Tonight's the Night a year later he already won the top of the American charts.
At the height of his career, he created a status with albums of full-fledged sound and extremely high quality one of the most recognizable and successful musicians in the world, although he also faced the dark side of fame in a career spanning more than fifty years. However, this did not stop him from creating.
After 15 years, last year Rod took up the pen for the first time and wrote 12 songs, which were released on the Time disc last May. A year before, the avowed rocker published a memoir of his pompous musical career with the title Rod: The Autobiography invites you to spring reading. He can certainly keep us company during the trip to Vienna, which Stewart will conquer July 1st.
