Sir Roderick David Stewart’s career began as a 17 year old busking with a harmonica in London. He would later join prominent rock bands, ‘The Jeff Beck Group’ and ‘Faces’ to create iconic albums like ‘Truth’ (1968), ‘Beck-Ola’ (1969), and A ‘Nod Is As Good As a Wink… to a Blind Horse’ (1971).

He earned rare double inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—both solo and with Faces. An exceptional solo artist, his career truly took off with the hit singles, ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?’ immortalising him in number-one charts in the UK and US.

In 2016, owing to his work to music and charity he was knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
