It seems Sir Rod Stewart isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty! The 77-year-old singing legend has shared a new video where we see him repairing potholes in the road near his house in Essex, shovelling dirt as he explains that he’s taking action because the road is both dangerous and damaging his sports car.

Dressed in the training gear of his beloved Scottish soccer club, Celtic, and a high-vis vest, Stewart’s in high spirits as he works with a group of men to repair the roadway, he says, has been ignored by the local council. Watch below! 

“This is the road near where I live in Harlow, and it’s been like this for ages,” Stewart explained in the clip (see below). “And the other day there was an ambulance with a burst tire. My Ferrari can’t go through here at all. So, me and the boys thought we’d come and do it ourselves. So this is what we’re doing, filling in the holes, while millions and millions of pounds have been spent on the M11.” He added: “I’m repairing the street where I live because no one can bother to do it!”

In November last year, Sir Rod released his 31st studio album, The Tears of Hercules. Stewart rekindled his love of songwriting with the collection of originals, largely written by him, including the first single, One More Time.
