Rod: The Autobiography

Product Information

Later in 1976, Stewart topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and the Australian ARIA chart with the ballad " Tonight's the Night", with an accompanying music video featuring actress Britt Ekland. [83] It came from the A Night on the Town album, which went to number two on the Billboard album charts and was Stewart's first album to go platinum. By explicitly marking the album as having a "fast side" and a "slow side", Stewart continued the trend started by Atlantic Crossing. " The First Cut Is the Deepest", a cover of a Cat Stevens song, went number one in the UK in 1977, and top 30 in the US. [83] [86] " The Killing of Georgie (Part 1 and 2)", about the murder of a gay man, was also a Top 40 hit for Stewart during 1977. [83] I originally listened to this book in 2013, when I blogged. Ever since then, I will ALWAYS recommend the audio to anyone and everyone because it was just SO DAMNED GOOD. (Trust me, I am not necessarily a fan. I have always generally thought of him as a wanker.) But when a friend, who lives in Minneapolis, was feeling down about her city and life in general, I told her to listen to this bit of sunshine. And what the hell, maybe I should too. And in rereading my review from 2013, I couldn't really say it better, so here it is: In May 2000, Stewart was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, for which he underwent surgery the same month. It had been previously reported he suffered from a benign vocal cord nodule. [150] Besides being a major health scare, the resulting surgery also threatened his voice, and he had to re-learn how to sing. [151] Since then he has been active in raising funds for The City of Hope Foundation charity to find cures for all forms of cancer, especially those affecting children. [150] In September 2019, Stewart revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017, and has been given the all-clear after treatment. [152] Brookes, Emily (7 May 2019).

Rod Stewart’s Autobiography - The New York Times

Romantic though such details are, you find yourself souring a little at quite how badly he behaved: ending long-term relationships by publicly and humiliatingly flaunting his infidelity. "Less than gentlemanly," he'll concede in hindsight, or – of cheating on his heavily pregnant wife Emberg with "another model" – "This, clearly, was the behaviour of an arsehole." Still, he's also kind of pleased with himself. I decided to read Rod Stewart's autobiography after seeing him on a television talk show and the book was everything I expected, girls, drink, music, football and more girls. Lots of bawdy tales from this 70 year old pop star who has never really grown up. He still loves his football and women but also model railways which was a surprise to me. It doesn't really go with the rest of his image.

Rod devotes the second chapter of his book to his hair, which, let's face it, we all want to hear about. And, as he says, maybe he is a bit extreme with his hair, but how many other people can say they're recognizable for the spiky tips on the top of their heads? Es un libro muy entretenido y dinámico, nunca aburre y sobre todo es divertido. Entre los capítulos que son narrados cronologicamente Rod mete algunos anexos sobre sus grandes pasiones (Fútbol, autos, etc) y esto son sumamente graciosos, sabe reírse de sus errores y virtudes.

Retrieved 11 December 2012.He seemed very impressionable in his early years which I found kind of sweet. Then he eventually stumbled into music as a young adult and I'm so glad he did. He didn't have an "entitled" sense of himself and I think I appreciated that the most. He had dreams and was surprised when they came true. Pezzella, Claudio (13 April 2020).
