Sir Rod Stewart has posed with seven of his eight children in a new family snap.

Rod Stewart may be a rock 'n' roll star, but he's also a family man at heart.

The 78-year-old singer has eight children from five different women, and the blended family are all very close, often seen together for family gatherings and celebrations.
