Rod Stewart Brings His 94-Year-Old Sister Onstage for a Heartwarming Family Moment at Edinburgh Castle!

Rod Stewart delivered a heartwarming moment when he brought his 94-year-old sister, Mary, onstage at Edinburgh Castle. The crowd erupted with joy as Mary stole the spotlight, waving to the audience and playfully leading the band with a little encouragement from her brother. The bond between them was undeniable, creating a memory full of love and laughter that touched everyone in attendance.

Sir Rod Stewart’s a certified charmer, but he won the hearts of fans all over again with this sweet moment onstage with his 94-year-old sister Mary. Sir Rod invited his dear sister onstage to rock out to his sentimental classic “Sailing” at a concert in front of Edinburgh Castle. The English icon and his trio of female backup singers were decked out in captain’s uniforms, and he sang his 1975 hit while hugging his sister as she sang along.

Mary was clearly stoked to be up there, and led the crowd in waving along to the beat of the song, as well as conducting the band after a bit of encouragement from her brother. You could see it meant a lot to both Sir Rod and Mary to sing the nostalgic tune together, and everyone onstage wore big smiles throughout. We are always here for a Sir Rod Stewart performance, and this show was certainly a very special one for the English star.

Sir Rod performed his set next to Edinburgh Castle on July 6, 2023, and 602,000 fans tuned in to watch the performance with his sister on YouTube. Fans discussed their bonds with their siblings below the video and showed their appreciation of the performance with comments like “The love between brother and sister brought tears to my eyes, what a lovely guy Rod is” and “This is so sweet. She must be so proud of her little brother and he is very blessed to still have his 94-year-old sister around.”

Sir Rod sure likes to get the fam involved in his concerts. The English rocker created another memorable moment when he invited his daughter Ruby onstage to perform a duet on his hit “Forever Young.” Just like her dad, Ruby is a natural performer, making for a great show. It probably won’t surprise readers to hear that she also inherited her dad’s talent for singing as well. The performance has a real fun vibe, and watching dad and daughter own the stage together is sure to put a smile on your dial.

Gavin Sutherland wrote “Sailing,” and the song was first recorded by his duo, The Sutherland Brothers, for a June 1972 release. The song was a minor hit for the duo but later gained great exposure when Sir Rod released it on August 8, 1975, as the first single from his sixth solo album, Atlantic Crossing. The English star scored an international hit with the single, and it went to number one in the UK, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
