The veteran singer found a house for the fleeing family, furnished it and even pledged to pay for their rent and bills for at least a year
Standing outside the front door of a three-storey red-brick townhouse, Sir Rod Stewart may not look like your average landlord.
The veteran singer has found them a house, furnished it and even pledged to pay for their rent and bills for at least a year.“I walked through the door and they all came running down the stairs, all beautifully dressed in Ukrainian national costume,” a smiling Sir Rod said.“They made me a cup of tea and we had loads of biscuits and chocolates, although the baby kept nicking all of mine. It really was wonderful.
Sir Rod was desperate to go on the journey himself but he was advised against it – perhaps unsurprisingly given his age of 77. Sir Rod says it was a delight getting to know Rostyslav and his children, despite the obvious language barrier. “I am sure that if there are people out there who see what I am doing, they will pick up some slack too.”
