Rod was one of the first to offer to volunteer to have the coronavirus vaccine, before it had been rolled out across the country. 

The legendary singer told Piers Morgan he’d happily have the jab if it would help to settle others who had doubts over having it done. 

Prior to leaving Good Morning Britain, Piers revealed on air in December last year: ‘I had an email yesterday actually from Sir Rod Stewart offering his services if we were looking for people to do it, and he was just doing it as a public spirited gesture.

‘His wife had mentioned that we had been talking to Matt Hancock about it and he said, “Look, if you think it would help, I would happily volunteer.” I thought that was great.’

Piers shared at the time: ‘ I think the more very famous people, who have a lot of fans and a lot of followers, the more they are seen to take it… people will think, “if they’re taking it then I feel better.”‘

Since then, it’s been reported over 82.3million in the UK have been vaccinated, with 54 per cent of people now fully vaccinated after having had their second dose.

Prior to his trip to France, Rod was seen celebrating his 14th wedding anniversary with wife Penny Lancaster, 50.

The pair marked the milestone by enjoying a romantic boat trip along the River Thames. 

It came a month after the couple chartered a private jet to fly to Portugal for a loved-up getaway in May at an exclusive resort in the Algarve. 

At the time, Penny told fans on Instagram that the break was ‘time alone and time to reflect’ for the couple.

Rod, meanwhile, has slowly been recovering from knee surgery after years of playing football took a toll on his body. The hitmaker recently endured a £8,000 ankle fusion surgery and a full knee replacement.

Speaking to The Scottish Sun after appearing on crutches during wife Penny Lancaster’s Lorraine interview he said: ‘My football days are over.

‘I have a bad ankle injury which I suffered from being tackled by my 15-year-old son. I can still kick a ball when needed though.’
