Sir Rod Stewart has announced the death of his brother just hours after his Glasgow concert.
The Maggie May singer, 77, revealed his Instagram followers that his brother Bob had passed away, just two months after the death of his other brother Don at the age of 94.
He wrote: "It’s with great sadness that I announce the loss of my brother Bob last night, who joins my brother Don on the great football pitch in the sky.
"I’ve lost two of my best mates in the space of two months.
"RIP Don and Bob ‘irreplaceable buddies’. Sir Rod Stewart."
The tragic announcement comes just after his stellar two-hour performance in front of thousands at the Hydro.
Many fans took to the comments to share their sympathies with Sir Rod, with one saying: "I lost two of my best friends in six months during 2020. Hardest thing ever. Keep looking up!"
Another added: "Oh sir Rod I'm so sorry. What an awful time you're having. My deepest sympathies to you and your family."
Some famous names also left thoughtful comments, including Piers Morgan, Sharon Stone and David Foster.
