Rod Stewart has revealed he is free from prostate cancer after around two years of secret treatment.

The 74-year-old singer was given the all-clear in July after his cancer was diagnosed during its early stages in 2017. Sir Rod went public with his illness during a fundraising event for the Prostate Project and European Tour Foundation charity in Surrey, England, this weekend.

Speaking alongside his former Faces bandmates Kenney Jones and Ronnie Wood, Sir Rod urged all men to seek regular check-ups. The singer said regular tests had helped him identify his cancer early, improving his chances of entering remission.

"Two years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer," he told the audience. "No one knows this, but I thought this was about time I told everybody. I'm in the clear now, simply because I caught it early. I have so many tests.
