Sir Rod Stewart’s Colorfully Complex Love Life

A Bit Spiteful

Rod’s clearly getting soft in his old age, as he says he seriously regrets a number of things he said to Elton at the height of their feud. He said that he’d always been playfully competitive with Elton over the years, but in 2018 he stepped over the line, and it became spiteful.

Rod said that he always teaches his kids to apologies, and that’s why he told the media that he really regrets his comments. Rod said: “The last time I emailed him and said, ‘I have this football pitch, would you like the boys to come up’, because they both love football. ‘You don’t have to come, [but] if they want to come up and play on this, they’re quite welcome.”
