While Stewart has some iconic songs to his name — “Maggie May” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” to name a couple — yet it’s his 1984 masterpiece “Infatuation” that might just be his best. A criminally under-appreciated, vaguely stalker-y tune, “Infatuation” features perhaps Stewart’s best music video. If we can’t celebrate a man for his weirder, more eccentric songs fueled by the decade of excess, then what is there?
Joining Rod Stewart with just announced shows of their own are Stevie Nicks (on the same bill), Rush, Katy Perry and The Dodos.
