YUNGBLUD States His Granny Would ‘Lie’ That Rod Stewart Was His Grandfather– And the Icon DM ‘d Him About It

Rod Stewart has a couple of grandchildren, however YUNGBLUD isn’t among them (in spite of what the punk rocker utilized to believe).

While guesting on Capital FM on Tuesday (Oct. 21), YUNGBLUD opened about how he wrongly thought that the renowned singer-songwriter was his grandpa for about a years. “So, generally, my mum never ever had a father,” he stated on the radio program. “My nan was constantly a really creative woman, and my nan would lie to me.”

” She ‘d put me in a foot bath and lie to me and state that Rod Stewart was my grandpa for, like, my developmental years,” YUNGBLUD continued, chuckling. “So as much as about 9 years of ages, I believed Rod Stewart was my grandad.”

It wasn’t till he and his grandma were out grocery shopping one day that he lastly discovered the fact. “I keep in mind by the checkout, I got a Rod Stewart CD,” YUNGBLUD remembered. “[I was], like, appropriate trembling lip, like, ‘Nan, when’s granddad getting back?’ And everybody at the checkout began chuckling … Which was the day I discovered Rod Stewart was not in truth my grandpa.”.

However while there’s no “blud” relation in between YUNGBLUD and Stewart, it seems like the latter is down to invite the previous into the household. According to the “Moms and dads” artist, the Rock & & Roll Hall of Famer sent him a sweet DM after learning about the youth deception.

” He states, ‘Alright my wee grand son!'” YUNGBLUD stated of the exchange. “And I resembled, ‘Rod Stewart, male.'”

The interview happens a month after the release of YUNGBLUD’s partnership with Aerosmith, “My Only Angel,” which debuted at No. 1 on Signboard‘s Hot Acid rock Songs chart. The track will appear on a joint EP the 2 rock acts are dealing with.
