(6 Nov 2017) ROD STEWART SURPRISES CROWD WITH IMPROMPTU STREET PERFORMANCE British rock legend Rod Stewart rolled back the years Monday (6 NOV. 2017) with a surprise performance of "Handbags and Gladrags" at London's Piccadilly Circus. In front a spellbound crowd, Stewart – who began his musical career playing on the streets of London – joined busker Henry Facey for an acoustic performance of the hit song. The 72-year-old's impromptu appearance was to promote the November 13 unveiling of "The Adoration Trilogy - Searching for Apollo" legacy photograph at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The project - a collaboration between The Who's Roger Daltry and photographer Alistair Morrison – features over 60 musical legends pictured as street performers. Measuring a sizeable 4 x 5 meters, the photograph is valued at 6.5 million US Dollars. In addition to the original, a limited number of master prints will also be on sale. Purchasers of the pieces will be asked to donate to Daltry's charities Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.
