Sir Rod Stewart is set to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award and perform at the 2025 American Music Awards, marking the British rock legend’s return to the AMA stage for the first time since 2004. The 80-year-old Stewart joins the lineup of artists over 50 set to perform at this year’s awards ceremony, including Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Janet Jackson, and Gloria Estefan, alongside younger acts like Benson Boone, Reneé Rapp, and Lainey Wilson. Stewart has received numerous accolades throughout his celebrated career, including two inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – for his solo work and with The Faces – and a variety of Lifetime Achievement Awards in recognition of his four No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Stewart will launch the North American leg of his “One Last Time” world tour this summer, as well as continuing “The Encore Shows” residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas from May-June and September-October 2025.
