Rod Stewart has earned a prestigious honour at the 2025 American Music Awards.
Earlier this week, the Forever You hitmaker received Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented by five of his eight children; Kimberly, 45, Sean, 44, Ruby, 37, Renee, 32 and Liam, 30.
Rod, 80, got emotional when he came on stage to receive the award, he hugged his kids.
He told the audience, “I am absolutely flabbergasted. I didn't know they were here — my children. When I started singing in the early '60s, well before all of you lot were here, the reason I got into it [was] because I had this burning ambition to sing.”
The renowned singer added, “It's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous, and here I am a few years later, picking up this wonderful award."
Rod also praised fellow artists including Sam Cooke, David Ruffin and Muddy Waters.
For the star-studded event, he looked draper in a white tux and pinstripe trousers.
