Rod Stewart's Candid Thoughts on Ed Sheeran's Music

Sir Rod Stewart, the legendary singer known for his classic 'Maggie May', has sparked an unexpected feud with fellow British artist Ed Sheeran by calling him an 'old ginger b*****ks' in a recent interview. Stewart, who is gearing up for the release of his new album 'Swing Fever', was questioned about the current generation's production of 'timeless' songs when he made the blunt remark.

Rod Stewart's Take on Timeless Music

During a conversation with The Times, Stewart pondered over the existence of contemporary songs that will endure like his own hit 'Maggie May'. While he affirmed his belief in the young generation's abilities, his thoughts turned towards British singer-songwriter George Ezra, praising him for creating music that will last. Indeed, Stewart seemed confident that George Ezra's hits like 'Budapest' and 'Shotgun' have the makings of long-lasting appeal.

Surprise Remark on Ed Sheeran

The discussions took a turn when Ed Sheeran's name came up as a suggestion, and Stewart's dismissive reaction labelled Sheeran humorously as 'old ginger b*****ks', emphasizing his lack of familiarity with Sheeran's songs. Despite the sting, it's worth noting Sheeran's recent philanthropic gesture, as he donated £1 million to his old high school in Suffolk. The sizable donation from Sheeran, who has become one of Britain's top taxpayers, will reinforce art education in his alma mater.

Ed Sheeran's Contributions to Education

Sheeran's involvement in supporting the arts extends beyond personal creation. His funding of The Framlingham Foundation Trust has led to the initiation of a 'Expressive Arts course' for Year 8 students, enriching the school's educational resources. Previously, Sheeran has made substantial donations to Thomas Mills High School for music and other academic enhancements, stepping up as a generous benefactor of future creatives.
