Express readers' true feelings over Rod Stewart's future after Glastonbury revealed
A survey has shown whether Express readers believe Rod Stewart should retire following his performance at Glastonbury.
Rod Stewart played Glastonbury's coveted Legends Slot on the Pyramid Stage, wrapping up the annual five-day festival on Sunday. The 80-year-old proved age is just a number as he wowed during his 90-minute set, performing some of his most iconic tracks from Sailing, Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? and Maggie May.
As Glastonbury has now concluded, our Express poll results on whether Rod should retire after the festival can finally be revealed. While it was an incredibly close call, the majority believe that Glastonbury should not be his last performance, with 49% voting No. However, 46% disagreed as they voted Yes. Meanwhile, 5% of voters were unsure whether the rock star should return to the stage now that the festival has finished, opting for I Don't Know.
Just minutes into Sir Rod's set, viewers were gobsmacked by the amount of festival goers who had waited to watch him perform.
"Massive crowd for Rod fair play", penned one viewer on X as another wrote: "Bigger turnout for Rod than Neil Young last night."
Rod's set was filled with drama as he accidentally blurted out "f***", despite the set being streamed live on the BBC during the day.
After belting out the first song, he yelled: “Hey, I’m here. Music brings us together – we need music.” The expletive came out just moments later as Sir Rod, who was dressed in a black suit and white shirt, struggled to cope with the high temperatures at Worthy Farm.
The star was heard saying "it’s f****** hot” as he removed his jacket.

After singing his heart out to thousands, the musician abruptly told fans that he "had to go" as he had run over his allotted time on the Pyramid Stage.
"We have got to get off the stage soon, we are done," he informed the crowd before concluding his set with his number one single, Sailing.
The rocker was originally meant to have just 75 minutes on the Glastonbury stage, however, he managed to bag an hour and a half slot after begging the organisers to extend his set.
He told the BBC: "Usually I do well over two hours so there's still a load of songs we won't be able to do. But we've been working at it. I'm not gonna make any announcements between songs. I'll do one number, shout 'next', and go straight into the next one. I'm going to get in as many songs I can."
