Yahoo News Rod Stewart's Brit Awards performance: 8 best reactions as Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones join him on stage
Rod Stewart may have been a last-minute addition to the list of Brit Awards performances this year - but he didn't disappoint.
The 2020 Brits were chock full of incredible performances, with the likes of Harry Styles, Stormzy and Billie Eilish showing off their impressive vocals.
But while most of the show was in the hands of a new evolution of musical stars, closing this year's ceremony was Sir Rod Stewart, who brought on the other remaining members of the Faces, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones.
While a lot of people praised the 75-year-old for his sterling effort, others were a little less impressed.
Here are 8 of the best reactions to the Handbags and the Gladrags singer's Brit Awards performance...
