Sir Rod Stewart Gets Stuck in a Lift
Sir Rod Stewart, 81, got trapped in a lift while shopping at a Prada store. He was there with his son Alastair, 20, and Alastair’s girlfriend, Mell Ratto.

The lift suddenly stopped between floors, and no one came to help right away. Alastair posted a message on Instagram asking Prada for help: “Can someone help get us out of the elevator?” Even though they were stuck, Rod Stewart stayed relaxed and said everything was “gonna be alright.” He even sat down on the floor of the lift while they waited.
What was meant to be a quick stop for some shopping turned into a long and uncomfortable wait. The three of them were stuck for some time, with no clear idea of when help would come. Photos from the scene showed the veteran rocker taking it all in stride, joking about the situation rather than getting stressed, even as the minutes stretched on.
After a while, engineers arrived and helped the group get out safely.
This wasn’t Stewart’s only tricky moment recently. Just a week earlier, he had cancelled a concert in California because of health problems. In June, he had to use an oxygen tank during a show in Utah after nearly collapsing on stage.
