“You couldn’t call her shy, she was always trying to get me into bed, without success,” says Rod Stewart of Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin she was chasing him to make love to her, with him Elton John they snorted cocaine and, with Ronnie Wood, seduced any woman in their path. Already in the 80s, he has been followed by the myth that he had to do a gastric lavage because he had… oral sex with a group of sailors in a gay bar in San Diego.
All the above incidents are not fiction, but real incidents of the singer’s life, Rod Stewart, as he himself has described them in his autobiography. The famous singer – of Scottish and English descent – has lived a life full of success. He was discovered by British blues singer and guitarist ‘Long’ John Baldry on a train platform playing the blues classic ‘Smokestack Lightning’ on the harmonica.

She helps him get into the circuit and Stewart starts singing at the Cromwellian club. In 1996, the club is visited by a guitarist from the USA who is impressed by the artist. It was Jimi Hendrix. At the age of 21, Rod Stewart dreams of riches and fame and already has a child with Fine Arts student Susanna Bofey. As abortions were illegal at the time, the young couple gave the child – a girl – up for adoption.

He began touring the US in 1968, during which he met Joplin. “You couldn’t call her shy, she was always trying to get me into bed, without success. I was afraid of her,” he wrote. In 1971, he started a solo career and became famous with the song “Maggie May”. As he revealed, this is the first woman with whom he made love, and in fact she was much older than him.
In 1969, Beck fired Wood for “complaining too much” (he too went and found solace in the Rolling Stones) and shortly afterwards Stewart left, joining the Faces. It was the time when drugs started. Cocaine flowed in abundance on their tours, and Ian McLagan, the band’s keyboardist, used to wear a fake carnation in his lapel, which he had sprayed with cocaine, so he could snort while they played.
