Just as fit: Stewart's hit marathon in Quebec

All Stewart fans were still raving about Sir Rod's magnificent performance at the Glastonbury Festival when the hero of the Legends Slot was already back on another stage. A good 5,000 km away from Somerset, England, where the Glastonbury Festival is traditionally held, the Maggie May singer performed in Quebec, Canada, as part of the Festival D'Eté on Thursday as the weekend's opener.
And Stewart had lost none of his powerful stage presence from his performance in the United Kingdom. Hit after hit followed in Quebec, with ‘Tonight I'm Yours’ kicking things off at a powerful pace.
‘Some Guys Have All The Luck’, ‘It's A Heartache’ and ‘It Takes Two’ kept the rock vibe going, with the audience only getting a brief breather with ‘The First Cut Is The Deepest’ and ‘Tonight's The Night’.
Of course, the mega-hits ‘Maggie May’, ‘Forever Young’ and ‘Baby Jane’ were also on the set list, and ‘Rhythm Of My Heart’ replaced ‘Love Train’ in the programme. This time, the performance ended with ‘Havin' A Party’ instead of ‘Sailing’, which had tens of thousands of people in the United Kingdom singing along just a few days earlier, providing an emotional finale to Glastonbury.
The Canadian online portal Showbizz praised Stewart's performance in the highest terms. ‘At his age, everyone would love to be so fit!’ Showbizz remarked, confirming that Sir Rod, who was supported in Quebec by Richard Marx, was in ‘dazzling form’. ‘At 80 years of age, the famous London singer has clearly lost none of his greatness and knows how to thrill an audience,’ the portal continued.
