Love the royals? "We talked about it, which I think is the most important thing a couple can do and she explained to me, through the tears as Penny likes a cry, and talked it through and that's what couples have to do. Apparently, the Queen appeared to be just as "terrified" as the 77-year-old in fear of what Rod would be singing from his extensive discography - some of which can be a little bit rude.

We're halfway through it and it's really great, but it's not the sort of Frank Sinatra swing, it's more like, I don't know, like "Rock Around The Clock." We play it rock and roll style. It was 1976 when it came out and it helped them through a dark time. So it's a big event in England. So it's a big party, I think Elton is doing it and Duran Duran, Ed Sheeran, a lot of people are doing it. Baltin: As you say, it's a little heard song but it's funny because a lot of the times the song takes time. A lot of it goes over my head, but some of it's really good. So I listen to a lot of it with them. But I have a wonderful band that they're literally like my children. We changed a lot around, we put songs in and changed the running order, make it a bit different. I love what they bring to the party, business for the U.K. She's a great woman, she really is.
