HE went from street busker to international superstar.
On the way he embraced every genre of music from rock to folk, soul to R&B, and new wave to the Great American Song Book. Rod Stewart could have been summing up his own career when he sang Some Guys Have All The Luck.
He is currently touring Canada and the US and kicks off his eighth year in residency at Caesar’s Palace in June.
But fans who can’t make it to Las Vegas can enjoy the next best thing when a Rod Stewart tribute show comes to Basildon. Paul Metcalfe stars in the lead role and takes the audience through Rod’s incredible story, from humble beginnings through to worldwide superstardom and record sales of more than 200 million. His charismatic performance mirrors the persona of the legendary singer-songwriter from the distinctive vocals to the swaggering showmanship of Rod Stewart. Some Guys Have All The Luck is at the Towngate Theatre in Basildon on Saturday September 8. Tickets are £24.50 from the theatre box office on 01268 205 300.
