Last year Stewart performed four sold-out nights at London’s Earls Court as part of a nationwide UK tour. He also played a packed Blenheim Palace alongside other arena dates in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Sheffield.
Following the hugely successful ‘Great American Songbook’ series – which has sold over 15 million copies and is the biggest selling ongoing collection of new music recordings in history – ‘Still The Same…Great Rock Classics Of Our Time’, out now on Sony BMG, is his first rock album to hold the Number 1 position since ‘Blondes Have More Fun’ in 1979.
It is also his 35th charting album, fourth Number 1 album, sixth Top 10 debut, and his 4th consecutive studio album to enter the Billboard charts within the top 2 positions.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, he is recognised as among the best interpretive singers of our time. He has consistently been a presence in the charts since his 1971 release ‘Every Picture Tells a Story’ and the smash hit ‘Maggie May’ – both of which held the Number 1 spot in the US and the UK simultaneously, a chart first.
