Rod Stewart Superfan pays £27,000 to have dinner with famous rocker

A Sir Rod Stewart fan has paid £27,000 for the chance to have dinner with the famous rocker.

The music legend auctioned off the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as part of a huge fundraiser for cancer charity Maggie’s.

The lucky winner will enjoy an intimate dining experience with the star and his wife Penny Lancaster at luxury London hotel The Ritz.

The anonymous winning offer beat rival bids of £18,000, £22,000 and £24,000.

It is part of a fundraising drive for the charity, which is based in the grounds of Monklands Hospital in Lanarkshire.

Sir Rod, who has been treated for prostate cancer, said: “Maggie’s is an incredible charity which provides crucial practical, emotional and psychological support to people living with cancer from across Britain.

“Penny and I are delighted to be able to support the centre in Lanarkshire and are really looking forward to meeting whoever the generous bidders are and having a great evening with them.”

Maggie’s CEO Laura Lee added: “We are absolutely blown away by Sir Rod Stewart’s generous support.”

Other items sold at the auction included hospitality packages at Ibrox, Celtic Park and Motherwell’s Fir Park.
