Rod Stewart Leaves Los Angeles, Returns to UK

Move driven by 'toxic' Hollywood culture, desire for privacy, and a shift towards swing music.

Rod Stewart is selling his Los Angeles mansion for $80 million and moving back to the UK, after living in LA for 30 years.
Stewart's decision to leave LA is reportedly due to his dissatisfaction with the 'toxic' culture and lack of privacy in Hollywood.
The move also supports his wife, Penny Lancaster, and their sons, who no longer wish to deal with the 'nuisance' of going back and forth between the US and the UK.
Stewart has expressed a desire to leave 'all the rock ’n’ roll stuff behind' and focus on swing music, marking a shift in his musical career.
Stewart's upcoming album, a swing collaboration with Jools Holland, is set to release in February 2024.
