The Hoops-daft singer, 78, recently announced his ‘retirement’ from rock as he plans to release a new album and focus on jazz and swing music following his world tour. Sir Rod has recently embarked on his UK leg of the tour and told People Magazine: “It’s always a thrill to play Great Britain.”

“It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while,” he told the publication. “I have a lot of Scottish blood in me having a Scottish father, and I’m proud of my Scottish heritage.

“Whisky is the number one drink from Scotland. I wouldn’t say it was a natural move — I didn’t use to drink it, but I do now. I’ve actually fallen in love with whisky, and I like it in cocktails.”
