Savage said: “So….all of Rod Stewarts back catalogue and he (or someone quite high up) chooses #SweetCaroline #PlatinumPartyatthePalace”
Jupiter commented: “Rod Stewart 50 years of hits and he is forced to sing sweet Caroline”
Phillip posted: “If they wanted #SweetCaroline, why did they ask #RodStewart and not invite #NeilDiamond?”
Susannah said: “Poor Rod. I know Sweet Caroline was to get the crowd going, but he’s got a better back catalogue. Why did he have to sing someone else’s song – a B lister should have done that”
Jeff said: “Why is #RodStewart doing a cover of #SweetCaroline though?
