Rod Stewart Tells Hollywood Bowl “This Is My Last Time Here” During Farewell Tour Stop That Keeps The Records Playin’. But Is It Really Goodbye?, Review

Article excerpt

Rod Stewart told a packed Hollywood Bowl crowd Wednesday that he wouldn't return to the venue, declaring "This is my last time here, so let's have a party tonight", a statement that drew groans from fans already reluctant to see the evening end. The 81-year-old rocker is touring behind his latest "One Last Time" farewell, a title that carries familiar irony given his history of retirement announcements. The show kept the hits flowing for 17,500 people in Los Angeles, though the review hints at skepticism about whether this goodbye will actually stick.
