The 2025 American Music Awards delivered a truly memorable moment when rock legend Rod Stewart took the spotlight to perform his iconic anthem, “Forever Young.” With his unmistakable raspy voice and timeless charisma, Stewart captivated the audience from the first note. Dressed in a dazzling black-and-gold sequined blazer paired with a crisp white shirt, and sporting his signature spiky blonde hair, he embodied classic rockstar energy.
Supported by a soulful choir and a full band, the performance blended soaring guitar solos with gentle piano melodies, creating an intimate yet powerful atmosphere. Stewart’s warm smiles and interactions with the crowd made the moment feel personal, as fans sang along with every word.
The stage was bathed in golden light, sparking a sense of nostalgia, while behind him, a video montage showcased highlights from his illustrious career, including vintage footage of Stewart performing the very same song decades earlier. When the final chords faded, the audience rose to their feet in a thunderous standing ovation, proving that at 80 years old, Rod Stewart’s voice—and spirit—truly remain forever young.
More than a celebration of his legendary career, the performance was a beautiful reminder of music’s enduring power to connect across generations.
