Rod Stewart Sells Song Catalog for Nearly $100 Million

The iconic rock singer's catalog, including hits from his solo career and time with Faces and the Jeff Beck Group, was acquired by Irving Azoff's Iconic Artists Group.

Rod Stewart has sold his song catalog, including publishing and recorded music rights, as well as some name and likeness rights, in a deal worth nearly $100 million.
The deal includes Stewart's work spanning six decades, featuring 10 No. 1 albums and over a million copies sold for each studio album.
Iconic Artists Group, led by Irving Azoff, recently raised more than $1 billion in new capital for future catalog investments.
Stewart is currently on a world tour and plans to release his 32nd studio album, 'Swing Fever,' a big-band salute, later this month.
The acquisition follows Iconic's previous purchases of catalogs from artists like the Beach Boys, Cher, and Linda Ronstadt.
