Rod Stewart shared a post in honor of Father’s Day on June 21. On June 22, he shared a tribute to his dear friend, Clive Davis, following his passing.
“Lost for words! A day I’ve been dreading! A giant of a man in the music business. I owe Clive so much. The force behind J Records, he was the only one who believed a rock singer could sing the standards with conviction. Other labels rejected the idea, and so The Great American Songbook was born, selling close to 40 million copies,” Rod wrote. “We had some wonderful, unforgettable times together, but for now, Mr. Davis, it’s goodbye, my dear friend. Rod Stewart.”
Rod Stewart has not spoken publicly about his recent health scare. Fans continue to wish him well.
“I’m so sorry for your loss, @sirrodstewart. I hope you’re feeling well. And I hope to see you again in Vegas,” a fan wrote. “Legend.”
This fan added a lovely message. “My heart goes out to you and I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m thankful he gave you that chance when no one else would. I’ve been a major fan of your’s since I was a child. I saw you once when I attended the TV guide awards in LA….I believe it was in 2001. You were the guest entertainer and you came right up to my table and sang for a bit. I nearly fainted. Meeting or seeing you live was on my bucket list. I pray your health improves. My prayers are with your lovely family too,” they wrote.
