Rod Stewart's drawn out Florida assault cases is set to finally draw to a conclusion after almost two years.
The Scots rocker was scheduled to stand trial in America alongside his son Sean after they were accused of attacking a security guard at a luxury hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.
The incident was alleged to have happened on New Year's Eve 2019, with the 76-year-old accused of punching Jessie Dixon in the ribs.
However, court records show that the singer and prosecutors are reaching a deal over the allegations.
Rod and Sean allegedly got into a scuffle with Mr Dixon after being denied access to a private party in a children's area.
Sean allegedly got "nose to nose" with Mr Dixon. Both men denied a charge of simple battery.
A trial date had been set for September 14. However court records show Sir Rod's lawyers have reached a settlement agreement and a final hearing has been scheduled for October 22.
Judge August Bonavita is expected to sign off on the agreement, details of which were not released.
Neither Sir Rod or his son have to appear at the hearing.
Guy Fronstin, Sir Rod's lawyer, has been contacted for comment.
The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office said it had no comment.
Sir Rod and his son were charged in January 2020.
Mr Dixon alleged the musician and his son were part of a group that objected to being denied entry to a private party in a children's area at the Breakers Palm Beach Hotel, according to police documents.
When asked to leave, it was alleged Sir Rod and his group "began to get loud and cause a scene", before Sean got "about nose to nose" with Mr Dixon.
The guard claimed to have been pushed by Sean before Sir Rod came towards him and punched him in the ribs.
