Sir Rod Stewart‘s recent stint on Dancing on Ice left fans less than thrilled.
Sir Rod Stewart puts on cringe performance on ‘Dancing with Ice’
A Sunday episode of Dancing on Ice took a cringe turn when Sir Rod Stewart and Jools Holland graced the stage.
The duo, currently promoting their 13-track collaboration album Swing Fever, decided to perform their cover of Billie Holiday’s 1936 hit Pennies from Heaven.
The album, a compilation of swing standards, was released just this past Friday, but it was their live performance that caught the audience’s attention—albeit for reasons they might not have hoped for.
Despite the legendary status of both performers, the execution on the ice left many viewers underwhelmed.
Social media quickly became the arena for expressing disappointment, with fans not shying away from describing the performance as “cringe.”

The conclusion of this unexpected episode on Dancing on Ice doesn’t detract from Sir Rod Stewart’s legendary status or his significant contributions to music.
