Rod might soon become Sir Rod Stewart! According to The Sun newspaper, if the British public have their way, Rod will be the latest star in line for a knighthood.
Rod has been the subject of a flurry of betting at Williams Hill’s bookmakers, and he’s been given 7-1 odds of becoming Sir Rod next year.
“There are lots of people who think it’s about time Rod was knighted, including himself. There was a leak over the weekend about the Government wanting to liven up the honours’ list. Creating a Sir Rod would certainly do that,” William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said.
Rod has made no secret of his annoyance at not being given any honours by the Queen. If the public is right, he will join Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney in the league of real rock royalty.
