Oh, Rod Stewart knows how to have a laugh. Asked about Robbie Williams getting off with Rachel Hunter, Rod's not bitter. In fact, he wishes the pair well.

And the future for you was one of dropping sales, lapses into self-parody, drunken pointlessness and a slightly seedy air of embarrassing naffness topped with a pisspoor collection of cover versions intended to display your versatility but actually making it clear that once you step from your tightly drawn millieu, you're as lost as a principled man in the White House.

Oh, Rod, you'd be giving Robbie Williams nightmares had he not caught you up already.
