Rocker Rod Stewart Knighted

Sir Rod, you wear it well.

Rocker Rod Stewart donned tartan trousers — a nod to his Scottish heritage — and a scarlet-trimmed military-style tunic to be knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace.

The raspy-voiced singer of “Maggie May,” ”Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “You Wear It Well” was honored “for services to music and charity.”

When the award was announced by Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year, Stewart said it was “a monumental honor.” He added: “I thank her majesty and promise to ‘wear it well.'”
