SIR Rod Stewart says voters should 'give Nigel Farage a chance'.
The 80-year-old rocker slammed Prime Minister Keir Starmer's policies on fishing rights in Scotland as he revealed he thinks the Reform leader is "coming across well".
New polls suggest Reform is on track to win the next election – with more than a third of voters saying they will support the right-wing party.
And Rod 'The Mod' is no different.
Ahead of his Glastonbury set this Sunday, the Maggie May singer insisted that despite his 'extreme wealth', he is not out of touch.
Sir Rod was asked in an interview with The Times where he sees Britain's political future heading.
He responded: "It's hard for me because I'm extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn't really touch me. But that doesn't mean I'm out of touch.
"For instance, I've read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn't made him popular. We're fed up with the Tories. We've got to give Farage a chance. He's coming across well."
"What options have we got? I know some of his family, I know his brother, and I quite like him.
"But Starmer's all about getting us out of Brexit and I don't know how he's going to do that. Still, the country will survive. It could be worse. We could be in the Gaza Strip."
It comes after the music legend hit out at Farage last June after he claimed that the West provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Stewart previously said he was "outraged and dumbfounded" after Farage argued that the EU and NATO had given Putin a "reason" to tell his people "they're coming for us again".
We previously told how Sir Rod lifted the lid on exactly how much he is getting paid to play at Glastonbury this year – as well as how much money he'll lose.
He is set to return to Worthy Farm for the first time in decades, having last performed on the Pyramid Stage 23 years ago.
He's performing as this year's Legends slot act, joining a long list of iconic acts who've taken on the prestigious role.
