Rod Stewart has laid out plans for his new ‘Ultimate Hits’ collection.
The evergreen UK singer hits Glastonbury this summer, performing in the festival’s much-coveted Legends slot. Following in the footsteps of Diana Ross and Shania Twain, Rod the Mod will bring his timeless class to Worthy Farm.
One of the weekend’s most anticipated slots, Rod Stewart is on a rich run right now – his mind-bogglingly successful One Last Time tour launches another European leg on April 23rd; he returns to his record-breaking Las Vegas residency, The Encore Shows, in May and September; and finally he’ll be bringing the One Last Time tour to North America, and South America, before a return to Europe to close out the year.
So, time for a career recap, then. ‘Ultimate Collection’ does what it says on the tin – a huge survey of a defining figure in pop culture, from his early 70s roots through to mega-fame, and 21st century endurance.
Sez Rod: “I love what I do, and I do what I love…”
Out on June 27th, the compilation will be available on a variety of formats, including collector’s 2LP green vinyl and ½ & ½ green-and-white vinyl variants, a 1CD and 2CD deluxe edition, store-exclusive alternative-cover variants, and limited-edition cassette and Blu-ray audio, as well as being available digitally.
