Work on the new album has begun!

This news will make the hearts of many Rod Stewart fans beat faster. Sir Rod has begun work on a new album. On Saturday, a post by Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster on social media caused excitement among his fans.
A photo shows Stewart in the background, standing in front of a microphone, with his long-time producer Kevin Savigar sitting at the mixing desk in front of him. Lancaster captioned the photo: ‘Rod starts vocals on a new album’.
Sir Rod has been talking about his new plans repeatedly in recent times. He has a country album and one with cover songs in the works. An album by The Faces with new material is also set to be released in 2026.
However, the question that is probably most pressing for all fans has not been answered: nothing has been announced yet about a possible release date for a new album.
