Rod Stewart at Glastonbury: Most astonishing moments in error-strewn set

Sir Rod Stewart gave a set to remember at Glastonbury Festival. The iconic singertook over the Pyramid Stage this Sunday afternoon in the important Legends slot and was joined by a string of special guests.

Mick Hucknall, Ronnie Wood and Lulu joined him for an exciting set including some of his biggest songs such as Maggie May, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy and Sailing - whilst he also sang other hits like Love Train.

There was a beautiful tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie. The legendary musician died in November 2022, but she was remembered at Glastonbury as Rod projected her face on the big screen.

The crowds were heaving for Rod's huge set, with fans being kept cool at the front with cups of water as Glastonbury festival goers baked in the hot temperatures.

However, the show didn't go off without a hitch - or a number of them. Here, The Mirror takes a look at Rod's huge hour and a half set and what exactly what happened when the iconic singer graced Worthy Farm.

Overheating

Rod was forced to leave the stage twice during his hour and a half set to make two different outfit changes. Amid the high temperatures at Worthy Farm, the heat seemed too much for Rod in his jacket and long-sleeved white shirt.

He then headed backstage to change into a bright pink suit as he told the crowd: "The girls are going to do a song for you while a change my shirt." The band then broke into a rendition of Lady Marmalade.

The second time, Rod's band sang another track as he disappeared, without warning this time, to change into a bright green suit.

Awkward announcement

Lulu was one of Rod's guests during this afternoon's set. However, her entry to the stage didn't go that smoothly. Rod introduced Ronnie Wood and then Lulu. Ronnie quickly made his way on stage but Lulu wasn't anywhere to be seen.

Rod stopped and said 'oh Lulu is coming on in a bit' as Ronnie grabbed his guitar and played for the huge Glastonbury crowd. Lulu then arrived later and sang Hot Legs with Rod in her stunning white suit.

Maggie May mess up

On one of his most famous songs, Maggie May, Rod appeared to mess up his introduction. The singer seemed to come in too early as he sang the huge hit, but that didn't stop fans from getting involved.

The song earned the biggest singalong of the set from the huge crowd, which was packed to the rafters as Rod took over the iconic Pyramid Stage for an hour and a half.

Late finish

Rod must have been enjoying himself so much that he finished his set a few minutes late. Amid the outfit changes and celebrity guests, Rod ended up finishing his set around five minutes later.

"We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done," he told the crowd before singing hit track Sailing. He also thanked all his celebrity guests for their part in his show, which was well received by fans.
