In an unprecedented tribute to one of the greatest voices in rock history, the President of the European Music Federation has officially launched a campaign to build a statue honoring Sir Rod Stewart — celebrating him as Europe’s number one music icon.
“Rod Stewart is a shining legend of world music,” the President declared at a press conference in Brussels. “His extraordinary talent, discipline, and resilience have not only rewritten history on stage but have also inspired generations of artists across the globe.”
The announcement was met with overwhelming support from music fans across Europe, who flooded social media with messages of gratitude and admiration for the 80-year-old superstar whose voice defined an era.
When told about the honor, Stewart was visibly moved. Fighting back tears, he responded with just 20 heartfelt words — words so powerful and emotional that they left everyone in the room silent. “I’ve lived my life through music,” he said softly. “If that music touched even one soul, then I’ve done enough.”
The campaign, already backed by several European cultural organizations, plans to unveil the statue in London next year as a symbol of enduring artistry and the timeless spirit of rock and roll.
As fans celebrate this historic recognition, one thing is clear: Rod Stewart isn’t just a singer — he’s a legacy carved in melody, memory, and now, soon, in stone.
