Sir Rod Stewart has decided to quit “toxic” Los Angeles and return to the UK after three decades, sources close to the star have claimed.
The singer, 78, has listed his nine-bedroom, 12-bath villa in Los Angeles for US$80 million (NZ$129m) as he prepares the move back home.
It comes just months after insiders were reported to have said he had grown tired of the culture in Hollywood and felt he had “no privacy”.
It is said that he also chose to return to Britain to support his wife, Penny Lancaster, and their sons, who no longer wish to deal with the “nuisance” of going back and forth.
“Penny loves the life she has made away from America and away from LA. She enjoys nothing more than working for the police force,” a friend of Sir Rod’s family told the Daily Mail.
