Rod Stewart has stopped a concert to shout at a fan for “spoiling” the show.
The singer brought his Athens concert to a halt to tell a fan off.
He was singing Do Ya Think I’m Sexy when he became annoyed at a spectator and stopped singing.
“Out the f***ing way,” he said. “You’re spoiling the show for everybody. Out the way. Leave. We don’t need you here.”
It appeared the man Rod shouted at was upset that someone else was holding up a sign.
“All she’s doing is putting up a sign,” Rod continued. “It’s not hurting you is it, mate?”
Fans took to social media to joke that the 80-year-old star was annoyed that his football team Celtic FC had lost earlier in the day.
“Rod Stewart p****d off! What happened?” someone wrote on TikTok after sharing the footage of the exchange. Another follower joked,
“Probably mentioned St Mirren’ and ‘His team got beat 3-1 today.”
Rod will perform in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, then continue his tour in the US in February.
Last year the star revealed he was planning to end large-scale tours, but he didn’t want to stop performing altogether.
“This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire,” he said. “I love what I do and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.”
Despite turning 80 in January this year, he’s previously said how he plans to make the most of the years he has left.
“I’m aware my days are numbered, but I’ve got no fear,” he told The Sun. “We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few – probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.”
He added, “I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s and I can’t stay up all night, get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that. Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show. But no, you think I just have water on my rider? You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show. There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We absolutely love it.”
