Rod Stewart and his son Sean have pleaded guilty to simple battery during an altercation in 2019 involving the duo and a security guard. Police stated that Stewart had punched a Breakers Hotel security guard and that Sean pushed the same guard. Both submitted their pleas on Friday "in absentia," so neither was in court on that day, according to court documents. As a result, Stewart and his son must each pay $675 in fines. After these court proceedings, Stewart returned to music, launching a divisive performance at The Royal Variety Performance on Sunday.

The affidavit then states "The group began to get loud and cause a scene, and refused to follow … instructions to leave." This ultimately resulted in the confrontation turning physical. In addition to Stewart punching a hotel guard, police also noted Sean "got about 'nose to nose' distance" from the guard and shoved him. Security camera footage from the Palm Springs hotel shows that the father and son were the "primary aggressors," and this is reflected in a Palm Beach Police Department probable cause affidavit.

Each year since 1912, The Royal Variety Performance hosts an event featuring a series of stars to raise money for the Royal Variety Charity. Stewart performed a song from his new album, The Tears of Hercules, but it, like his Graham Norton Show appearance, has been met with a lack of enthusiasm online, one Twitter user likening the quality of it as "the drunken grandad on Christmas night after a few shandy’s."
