On June 29, 2025, Rod Stewart performed in the “Legends slot” on Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid Stage. However, only halfway through his Sunday set, the legendary rockstar temporarily exited the stage for an unexpected reason.
After captivating the audience with his rendition of “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy,” Rod announced his brief departure. Gesturing to his backup singers, he told the crowd, “The girls are going to do a song for you while I change my shirt!” Despite already contending with the heat at Worthy Farm, having removed his jacket earlier, Rod reappeared in a striking pink suit.
Notably, Rod Stewart also welcomed Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis onto the stage to wish him a happy birthday.
This event follows Rod’s earlier comments on the BBC’s Sidetracked podcast, where he expressed his dislike for the name of his performance slot, calling the “teatime slot” “horrible.” While he clarified that he doesn’t mind being called a “legend,” Rod Stewart stated, “I don’t mind. I obviously think I deserve it. I just wish they wouldn’t call it the teatime slot.”
