Roderick On January 10, 1945, David “Rod” Stewart was born in London, England. He is the youngest of five children and the son of Robert Joseph Stewart and Elsie Rebecca Gilbart. He is of British and Scottish ancestry. His childhood was primarily consumed by pastimes like playing soccer and constructing model railroads.
He played soccer for Middlesex Schoolboys and served as the team captain. When Stewart started learning the harmonica and then the piano in the early 1960s, he finally started to show an interest in music.
Little Richard and singer Al Jolson were among his earliest influences. At the age of 15, Stewart dropped out of school to pursue his dream of playing soccer professionally.
In October 1969, Stewart became the lead singer of the band known as The Faces. Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, and Kenney Jones were also members.
Stewart was simultaneously signed as a solo artist by Mercury Records and began making music independently. Stewart’s first solo album, An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down, was released in 1969. In early 1970, the Faces released their debut album, First Step. They were heavily influenced by the Rolling Stones, and the album did well in the UK, earning them a large live following.
Stewart’s sophomore album, Gasoline Alley, was released in the autumn of 1970. That year, the Faces began a tour in the United States.
