Sir Rod Stewart has long been one of The Colosseum’s most beloved performers, since debuting his Strip residency in 2011. When his current run concludes on Aug. 7, he’ll have performed his 200th show there!
It’s an amazing achievement, to be sure, but Stewart has filled his entire career with milestone after milestone: He’s a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both here (he was actually inducted twice!) and in the U.K.; he received a knighthood in 2016; he’s sold more than 120 million records worldwide; and he’s changed musical styles more than once, but always to critical and commercial acclaim.
In fact, part of the fun of attending a Rod Stewart performance these days is trying to predict what songs are coming next: His ’70’s and ’80s classics like “Maggie May,” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Young Turks,” or his now-vast selection of later-career hits from the ’90s and beyond like “What a Wonderful World,” “All For Love” and “For the First Time.”
Sir Rod has certainly earned the right to perform whatever he darned well wants, and with a recent U.K. chart-topping album, Swing Fever, it would appear his already vast catalog will only continue to grow—as will the milestones.
