Rod Stewart abruptly halted his Athens concert to shout at a fan that they were ‘spoiling’ his show on Sunday night.
The furious singer, 80, was singing Do Ya Think I’m Sexy when he became frustrated by one concert-goer at the OAKA Sports Hall, prompting his to stop his performance.
In the expletive-laden scolding, Rod told the fan: ‘Out the f***ing way. You’re spoiling the show for everybody. Out the way. Leave. We don’t need you here.
‘All she’s doing is putting up a sign. It’s not hurting you is it, mate?’
Rod’s short temper came after his team Celtic FC were beaten 3-1 by St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup Final.
The tense exchange was shared on TikTok by a concert-goer, who wrote: ‘Rod Stewart p****d off! What happened?’
Fans joked Rod was in a bad mood because his football team lost.
They teased: ‘Probably mentioned St Mirren’ and ‘His team got beat 3-1 today’.
Daily Mail has contacted Rod’s representative for comment.
Rod will next perform in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday before having a three month break.
He will pick up his tour stateside in February, performing in Hollywood before heading on to tour dates in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
In an interview last year, Rod told fans he plans to end large scale world tours.
He wrote: ‘This will be the end of large-scale world tours for me, but I have no desire to retire.
‘I love what I do and I do what I love. I’m fit, have a full head of hair and can run 100 metres in 18 seconds at the jolly old age of 79.’
The Maggie May hitmaker added he wants to to perform at more intimate venues for his next tour slated for 2026, after the release of album Swing Fever with Jools Holland earlier this year.
He said: ‘I’d like to move onto a Great American Songbook, Swing Fever tour the year after next – smaller venues and more intimacy. But then again, I may not. The ambiguous Sir Rod Stewart.’
His post drummed up support from his famous friends and fans. Davina McCall typed: ‘This sounds perfect’, while Piers Morgan commented: ‘Brilliant’.
Others said: ‘Love you always I love your music forever and ever . You are the rock legend, the best. If you love what you do, don’t stop doing it’.
Last year Sir Rod said he has ‘no fear’ about death ahead of his 80th birthday and added he aims to stick around for another 15 years.
He told The Sun: ‘I’m aware my days are numbered but I’ve got no fear. We have all got to pass on at some point, so we are all in the same basket. I am going to be enjoying myself for these last few years as much as I can. I say few — probably another 15. I can do that easy mate, easy.
‘I’m not like I was in the ’70s and ’80s and I can’t stay up all night, get drunk and go mad and still have a voice just like that. Nowadays I have to protect my voice before and after every show.
‘But no, you think I just have water on my rider? You’re talking to Rod Stewart here, mate. We go mad after every show. There are 13 of us, six women, really great musicians and I make them drink. We absolutely love it.’
