With a latte love! Rod Stewart, 71, embraces wife Penny Lancaster, 45, as they enjoy a coffee break in the Bel-Air sunshine

When you're a multi-millionaire boasting a decades-long career in the music industry, it's quite easy to make even the most mundane of tasks look glamorous.

And Sir Rod Stewart, 71, displayed the perks of his lifestyle as he stepped out for coffee with his beautiful wife Penny Lancaster, 45, in Bel-Air, California on Sunday.

The Maggie May rocker looked just as cool as his hitmaking heyday as he sat on an outdoor bench while statuesque Penny tenderly rested her head on his shoulder.

With disposable coffee cups in each of their hands, the lovebirds - both wearing stylish black sunglasses - appeared not to have a care in the world.

British star Rod was dressed for the sunny Southern California climes, wearing a white unbuttoned shirt with matching trousers and Adidas running shoes.

Penny turned heads in a plunging striped monochrome minidress, which featured a side slit and showed off her long, lean legs.

Already towering over her husband of nine years, Penny opted for black flip-flops, while an glittering array of delicate jewellery added extra pizzazz to her ensemble.

After relaxing and enjoying their warm drink together, the pair jumped into their white Ferrari, with Penny taking the wheel and whisking them off. 

Penny recently revealed that she and Rod have privately renewed their wedding vows ahead of their 10th anniversary to rid their new house of negative spirits

Music greats unite to help stricken singer Frankie Miller storm charts with lost album

ROD Stewart and Elton John are among the names to rework the Glasgow songwriter's lost demos 22 years after his career was cut short by a brain haemorrhage

FRANKIE Miller is set to storm the charts with a little help from his rock star pals – 22 years after a massive brain haemorrhage cut short his career.

A batch of the Glasgow-born singer-songwriter’s lost demos have been reworked for a new duets album recorded by the likes of Rod Stewart, Kid Rock and Elton John.

Miller, who had to learn to walk and talk again, left a swathe of unreleased recordings.

Willie Nelson, Huey Lewis, Bonnie Tyler and Status Quo’s Francis Rossi have all worked on the tracks for Double Take.

Frankie’s producer David Mackay started the project after Rod asked if he had any of Frankie’s unreleased songs.

A phone call to Annette Miller, Frankie’s partner, led to David taking possession of two sacks full of demos. “The tracks were simple,” David said. “But the vocals were stunning.

“So I set about creating proper backing tracks with top musicians from around the world.”

Some of music’s biggest names gathered to help finish 18 songs.

David said: “The response was overwhelming. Elton John thought Where Do the Guilty Go was a classic. Willie Nelson loved the song I Want to Spend My Life With You and immediately went into the studio.”

Legendary soul guitarist Steve Cropper also came on board, as did one of Japan’s biggest stars, Tomoyasu Hotei. Rod features on the track Kiss Her For Me with Eagles legend Joe Walsh on guitar.

Rod said: “Joe’s guitar made it. I heard the track before Joe put the guitar on then I heard it afterwards. It just gels the two voices together cos we’re very similar, Frankie and I.

“We sing more or less in the same keys and we have the same phrasing and I didn’t think it was gonna work but it really has.”

Frankie’s haemorrhage occured in New York, where he was writing songs for a new band he had formed with Joe. He then spent five months in a coma

Frankie, 66, is best known for his 1977 album Full House, the following year’s chart smash Darlin’ and a cover of the Dougie McLean song Caledonia.

In 1979, he starred in Peter McDougall’s TV film Just a Boy’s Game. In 2006, he released Long Way Home, his first with new material for 20 years.

Joe added: “I knew he was a brilliant singer but I didn’t realise how good a songwriter he was until I heard this massive
collection of demos that he did.

“He pretty much wrote a song every day. I can’t comprehend – it takes me a year to write a good song, you know, and he’d just crank ‘em out without even tryin.

“Frankie was really, really gifted at the craft of songwriting and we want the world to hear his stuff.

“The world needs to be aware of Frankie more than it is and the world will be a better place.”

Elton said he had loved Frankie’s work in the 70s, when they were both up-and-coming stars. He said: “He was very soulful, had a great voice.

“I remember going to see him live and I had no idea of the amount of songs that he’d written.

“When I saw the list of songs that was given to me that Frankie wrote and had been covered by other people, I was astonished.

“I had no idea, I was completely ignorant, and I was just bowled over by this man, who’d written all these great songs, and most of them by Americans because that’s the kind of music Frankie wrote. He’s an American boy at heart. He loved that kind of music and so do I.

“And so I wanted to do it a), because I wanted to pay tribute to him and b), because of his circumstances, and I want him to be remembered. His music should be remembered and it should be revered.”

Kiki Dee, who duetted with Elton on the 1976 No1 Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, sings on the song Sending Me Angels.

She said: “I’ve done lots of duets with lots of different people but he has a special quality, great writer.

“I love the song that we’ve done and I’m just really looking forward to hearing it finished.”

Kid Rock, who features on the song Jezebel Jones, said: “I first heard of Frankie Miller through my old manager, Bob Seeger’s manager Punch Andrews. And from there I just started digging into his catalogue.

“I’d like to say I’ve gotten better through the years and I can hold my own but that guy’s on another planet when it comes to singing, so it is nerve-wracking to be in the studio trying to sing next to Frankie Miller.”

The solo Frankie Miller track I Do rounds off the collection from the man who had his songs covered in the past by the likes of Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and The Travelling Wilburys.

He also collaborated with rock legends, co-writing Thin Lizzy’s Still In Love with the late Phil Lynott and performing with Procol Harum. Soul great Allen Toussaint took Miller to New Orleans to record his 1974 album High Life.

Stars also assembled on a DVD documentary Frankie Miller: Sending Me Angels. Billy Connolly said: “He’s a genius, Frankie.

“He’s the closest I’ve ever heard to Otis Redding singing and it’s just … he’s a miracle man and I love him.”

Rod added: “Frankie’s been a friend for a long time and he’s also a big Celtic supporter so of course I’m gonna help him out, and he’s had a little run of bad luck and we all need to – us musicians need to – pull together to help our own. "

● Frankie Miller’s Double Take will be available on CD, CD+DVD and 2LP formats, out on September 30.

Exclusive: Sir Rod and Lady Stewart on fame, family and being honoured by the Queen

Sir Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster has revealed that her husband's knighthood has given her a chance to revive her old childhood nickname – Lady Penelope.

In an exclusive interview and photoshoot with HELLO! Magazine at the couple's Beverly Hills mansion, the Loose Women presenter tells how school friends used to compare her to the glamorous Thunderbirds character who was driven around in a pink Rolls-Royce by chauffeur Parker.

"I used to get called Lady Penelope at school because the other kids thought I spoke nicely," Penny, 45, tells HELLO!. "After the news [of Rod's knighthood] broke, the driver that takes us into London would say to me, 'Evening, me Lady,' and I would reply jokingly, 'London please, Parker.'"

Sir Rod tells HELLO! of his knighthood, "I feel very lucky." Now happily settled in their new UK home, an 18th century English estate in Essex, the couple also reveal they plan to renew their vows on their 10th wedding anniversary next year - something they already did privately when they moved into their new house.

"I wanted the priest to bless the house because I felt there was a lot of history and old spirits there: we wanted to say thank you to the old and welcome in the new. So we walked into the garden, under the largest oak tree there, and we said our vows again, just Rod, myself and the priest. It was beautiful."
