Rod Stewart was recently spotted enjoying a visit with his son, Sean Stewart, during a rare family outing in Los Angeles, an outing that follows his cancer diagnosis. The 80-year-old singer looked stylish as ever, pairing a blush blazer with a crisp white shirt, khaki trousers, and sneakers. The rock legend accessorized with layered necklaces, while Sean kept things casual in a black hoodie and athletic shorts.
The outing came after Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster, gave an emotional update on his health, describing the wait for results from his cancer tests as “excruciating.” Despite the stress, the star appeared in good spirits while spending quality time with his son, showing resilience in the years since his health battle first became public.
