Rod Stewart names the hobby he thought ‘didn’t go together’ with rock music

Sir Rod Stewart just revealed one his most dominating hobbies of personal life.

Admitting how the habit has almost “taken over his life” after years of being too “embarrassed” the iconic musician is ready to share the shocking hobby with the world.

The 79-year-old Maggie May hitmaker got candid about his love of model railway sets and described the feeling of his visiting his workshop “like entering the gates of heaven.”

Expressing the reason behind keeping this hobby under wraps for so long, Sir Rod revealed that he thought “railway modelling and rock’n’roll didn’t go together,” hence, hiding it for years.

”When I walk into my workshop, it’s like entering the gates of heaven for me. It’s just ahhh…this is my time. I would say I spend, on average, four or five hours a day if I can. Even if there’s twenty minutes I go over to my workshop,” he told Railway Modeller magazine.

The Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? singer continued, “In twenty minutes I can get quite a lot done. And it’s really taken over my life somewhat. In a wonderful way. There was a time I hid away from it.”

“Because I thought railway modelling and rock’n’roll don’t go together and I was sort of embarrassed. But I’m not anymore, I’m proud of it. I mean obviously music is my main life’s work, but this is definitely second,” Sir Rod Stewart further told the outlet, explaining the dynamics of his hobby and career.
