Sir Rod Stewart went to great lengths to help his 11-year-old son Aiden's U12's football team after they lost their training ground during the coronavirus pandemic.
The rocker, 77, turned the five-a-side pitch at his lavish pile in Epping Forest, Essex into the Junior Hoops’ official training ground so they could carry on playing.
A friend of the musician told The Sun: 'Rod is a regular fixture at his son’s matches. He is hugely passionate about his under-12s team, and not just because they wear the same colours as his beloved Celtic.

'Sadly, they lost their usual ground because of the pandemic and have had nowhere to train, so Rod stepped in. He has opened his house to the entire team, along with the coaches and parents, to allow them to train.
'Rod doesn’t want his son or the other kids to suffer, so he’s turned his place into their official training ground.
'Now, twice a week, the team turn up to play and train for their matches. It means the world to Rod that he is able to do that for his son and their team.'
