Singer Sir Rod Stewart has revealed he has secretly been fighting prostate cancer for three years.

Now 74, the iconic singer spoke for the first time about his secret battle, saying he was told he had the condition during a routine check in February 2016.

He made the revelation to a shocked audience at a fundraising event for the Prostate Project in Surrey with his former Faces bandmates Kenney Jones and Ronnie Wood.

Stewart said he has been in remission since July and caught the disease early because he goes for regular check-ups, which he urged all men to get.

Stewart, who has eight children, said he managed to get through his treatment by keeping positive and smiling.
