Rod Stewart recently claimed that he'd be up for a tour with his old partner Jeff Beck, but he noted that Beck isn't speaking to him. According to Beck, however, it's really the other way around.

Rod Stewart is currently out on the road with Steve Winwood opening.

Jeff Beck doesn't think that Rod Stewart is interested in committing to a reunion between the two.

Being Rod Stewart means getting to do pretty much whatever you want -- unless, that is, a member of the royal family is involved.

Rod Stewart toured with Stevie Nicks last year, he'll hit the road with Steve Winwood later this fall and he's daydreaming about a series of dates with Elton John. But don't hold your breath for any shows with Stewart's old partner Jeff Beck.

They've known one another for years and even worked together on occasion, but Rod Stewart and Elton John's long friendship has never led to a full-fledged tour -- something Stewart would like to rectify before it's too late.

Elton John and Rod Stewart teamed up onstage last night (September 2nd) in London, according to Vintage Vinyl News.

Rod Stewart has taken his punches over the years. First in the late '70s for his disco hit 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?' and most recently for his series of albums featuring a bunch of old songs your grandma and grandpa used to get busy to back in the day. But before all that, he was one of rock's greatest singers.

Rod Stewart's early-'70s heyday will be featured on the September 3rd archival release, Rarities. The double disc, 24-track set, features alternate takes and BBC in-studio radio performances of classic cuts from what many consider his golden era, encompassing material from his first five albums -- The Rod Stewart Album (1969), Gasoline Alley (1970), Every Picture Tells A Story (1971), Never A Dull Moment (1972), and Smiler (1974).

Deep cuts and rarities from the early years of Rod Stewart's solo career are seeing the light of day in a new compilation, due this fall.
