Sir Rod Stewart took to social media to tell Elton John that he still loves him after mocking him at a recent concert.
The Maggie May singer shared a clip where he can be seen mimicking the way Elton, 75, plays the piano. Rod, 77, had on a dramatic pair of perfectly round sunglasses which were covered in silver sequins, a nod to the Rocketman singer's eccentric fashion statements.
