At the age of 80, Rod Stewart has earned the right to do things his way. And if that means turning Glastonbury into a Vegas nightclub for 90 minutes, so be it. The star played the festival's coveted "legends slot" on Sunday afternoon, putting on a show resplendent with glittery suits, saxophone solos and special guests - including Stewart's former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood.
