Rod Stewart albums in order: Full list of releases and top singles

It's clear Rod is going to pull out all the stops to make the Legends spot on Sunday 29th June special too, revealing to Radio Times that his return to the iconic event is going to set him back a whopping £300,000.

However, he noted the honour of performing in a slot – which started with Tony Bennett in 1998 and has since featured the likes of Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Kylie Minogue, Diana Ross, and last year's star Shania Twain – makes the cost worth it.

He's also confirmed he's bringing out at least three guests during his performance, and managed to blag an extra 15 minutes on stage.

“It’s difficult because they only gave me an hour-and-a-quarter slot. So I begged them: can I do another 15 minutes? Because usually I play for two hours," he said.

"It means that there’s a lot of songs that people love that I won’t be able to play – and I’ve got three guests coming on.”

Here's everything you need to know about his releases to date, and the biggest singles from that time.
