Sixty-three years after launching his musical journey-and 56 years after unveiling his debut solo album An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down-Sir Roderick David Stewart remains an unmistakable force in rock history. The British legend, one of the world’s best-selling artists, has surpassed 120 million records sold globally, according to an article by George Skintsas in tovima.com.
On Saturday, 13 December, Rod Stewart will make his long-awaited debut in Greece, performing at the Telekom Center Athens as part of his worldwide “One Last Time” tour. His show will feature a career-spanning selection of classics such as “Baby Jane,” “Maggie May,” “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright),” “Downtown Train,” “Have I Told You Lately,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” “Hot Legs,” and “The First Cut Is the Deepest.”
In 2008, Billboard placed Stewart among the top performers on its “Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists” list. A recipient of both Grammy and Brit Awards, he ranked No. 33 on Q Magazine’s compilation of the 100 greatest singers ever. His accolades include induction into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as a solo artist, entry into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and a second induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 with the Faces.
Throughout his illustrious career, Stewart has earned ten No. 1 albums and 31 top-ten singles in the UK, with six reaching No. 1. In the United States, he has achieved 16 top-ten singles, including four that topped the Billboard Hot 100. In recognition of his musical achievements and charitable work, he was knighted in the 2016 Birthday Honours.
The Athens performance will be opened by Greek singer-songwriter Angelika Dusk, who has previously supported acts such as Simple Minds, Boy George, Kaleo, Imany, and LP.
