Born Roderick David Stewart in Highgate, London, in 1945, he stands as one of the UK’s most influential artists to emerge from the music scene. His career has surpassed 250 million albums and singles sold worldwide, a testament to his enduring appeal and broad reach across generations. Early in his journey, he and several bands laid the groundwork for a solo career that would redefine pop rock for years to come.
In the late 1960s, Stewart released his first solo album, An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down, a work that blended rock, folk, soul, and rhythm and blues. That record marked the opening chapter of a prolific era, setting the stage for a string of enduring releases. Over the decades, more than thirty studio albums followed, with notable titles such as Gasoline Alley from 1970 and Every Picture Tells a Story from 1971 continuing to shape his artistic identity. His 1972 release Never a Dull Moment further cemented his status as a dynamic live performer. His catalog and live shows have remained focal points of his artistic legacy through the years, culminating in a career that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
