Classic Rock Magazine - October 2023 (319) - Sir Rod Stewart

In this special issue guest-edited by Bryan Adams, we look back over decades of Adams making high-grade classic rock – and one of the biggest-selling records ever. These days he says he’s “a photographer moonlighting as a singer”. We present an exclusive gallery of a selection of his amazing portraiture.

He also interviews Rod Stewart, who tells him about his music, being on tour, his model-railway passion, being “one of the lucky ones”, and more.
