Rod Stewart announces NZ show

Rod Stewart is bringing his leathery larynx to Auckland for a concert in February.

He's also expected to bring his wife Penny Lancaster and their new baby boy Alistair.

Stewart says he fondly remembers the trips to New Zealand he made with his Kiwi-born ex, model Rachel Hunter. "We used to have some good times down there, visiting all the relatives and so on," he told Sunday Star-Times music writer Grant Smithies.

"I still get on well with Rachel. I wouldn't say it was a total bed of roses, but we get on because of our kids, Renee and Liam.

"And Rachel's grown up considerably in the last 10 years. She's seen the light of day, I think. She's become a really good person."

At 62, Stewart's recent releases have been covers of other artists' hits - and he says he's not writing any new music as he's run out of things to say.

"To be honest, people my age - like Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Elton John and the Rolling Stones... a lot of us haven't really got anything to say any more. Any of the recent records I hear by those artists, they're just endlessly going over old ground. We've all run out of new things to say. That's why I've pretty much given up writing songs these days. I'd rather choose somebody else's songs and cover those."

Rod Stewart plays Auckland's Vector Arena on Monday, February 18. Tickets on sale from November 8 via Ticketmaster.

The Official Press Release:

"Bar none, he's the best singer I've heard in rock 'n' roll. He's also the greatest white soul singer." - Elton John

With over 250 million record sales and a career spanning almost 40 years, Rod Stewart is the consummate performer.

So it is with no small amount of pleasure that The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse Entertainment announce Rod Stewart’s return to Australia and New Zealand in February/ March 2008 for his first tour here in over three years.

The 2008 tour of Australia and New Zealand will see Rod playing arena shows in both countries plus a series of ‘a day on the green’ winery concerts in Australia.

Over the course of Rod’s career the accolades haven’t slowed down. A Grammy Award winner, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and most recently a UK Music Hall of Fame inductee – each achievement attests to Rod’s considerable skill as a performer and his unflagging popularity.

One of rock music’s most enduring artists, Rod Stewart has produced hit after hit over the years; Maggie May, Every Picture Tells A Story, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, You Wear It Well, Stay With Me - the list is endless!

Rod Stewart’s 2005 tour drew rave reviews from the critics.

The Sydney Morning Herald declared he still had the “skill and cheek to keep an audience entertained.”

The Australian were equally smitten, gushing: “Stewart’s delivery was gift-wrapped with enough heart and soul to make it a Valentine’s Day to remember.”

And The West Australian bowed before their leader, dubbing Rod “God Stewart”.

Time after time Rod Stewart sells out shows in Australia and New Zealand, and no doubt this will not be an exception. Don’t miss your chance to see Rod Stewart live in concert this February/March!
