Rod Stewart's surprising 'career birthplace' given tribute ahead of Glastonbury legends slot
Briefly

Sir Rod Stewart has received a plaque at Twickenham Station, commemorating the spot where he was discovered in 1964 while waiting for a train. The legendary rock star was singing the blues when Long John Baldry overheard him, leading to the beginning of his illustrious 61-year career. The station is now recognized as a historical site for music lovers, and the plaque will be included in music history tours, adding to the cultural significance of the area as a vibrant music neighborhood.
It's so fitting that the railway station - the first port-of-call for most visitors to Twickenham - should have this plaque. It acts as a harmonica fanfare for a most historical and still vibrant music neighbourhood.
We're so excited to pay tribute to Sir Rod Stewart here at Twickenham Station where his musical journey began. The sign celebrates the connection between the railway and one of Britain's most iconic artists.
