Sir Rod Stewart is eagerly anticipating the release of his wife Penny Lancaster’s forthcoming memoir, humorously labeling it as “blood curdling.” The 80-year-old musician recently shared a playful video on Instagram, showcasing himself perusing Penny’s book as they relaxed on a vibrant sofa. Jokingly feigning shock at the content, Rod exclaimed, “Wow, this is incredible Penny. Absolutely blood curdling information in here,” while playfully teasing her about its revelations.
Transitioning from jest to sincerity, Rod expressed his pride in Penny, affirming, “No, it’s just the best, I’m so proud of her.” The video captured a tender moment as Penny leaned in to kiss her husband of 18 years.
Penny’s memoir, titled “Someone Like Me,” is set to hit shelves on September 25, recounting her journey from overcoming childhood bullying and undiagnosed dyslexia to navigating fame, marriage, and motherhood. She also delves into her early relationship with Rod, addressing the challenges of proving herself to his six children at the start of their romance.
Despite nearly two decades together, Penny revealed in her memoir that disagreements with Rod remain a part of their daily life, typically revolving around parenting rather than celebrity issues. The timing of Penny’s book release coincides with a challenging period for Rod, who recently faced health setbacks, prompting the cancellation of part of his U.S. tour due to illness.
Looking ahead, Rod has announced plans to conclude his extensive tours by 2025, signaling a new chapter for the iconic singer as Penny’s own story takes center stage with the publication of her candid memoir “Someone Like Me.”
