Rod Stewart's tour tickets outselling Rihanna's by 2 to 1

Tickets for crooner Rod Stewart's forthcoming UK tour are selling twice as fast as those of Rihanna, it has been confirmed.

Viagogo revealed that after Stewart's new album, entitled 'Time', went to No.1 over the weekend he experienced a 278% surge in ticket sales for his upcoming run of dates. Rihanna, meanwhile, isn't doing as well statistically as he is outselling her 2:1.

A spokesperson for the ticketing company, Steve Roest, explained: "Music legends like Rod Stewart will always generate high ticket demand and his upcoming tour is no different. It seems his recent album release has reminded fans that he’s still got it, as we’ve noticed a sudden rush for tickets to see him perform around the UK in June."

His 'Live the Life' tour will kick off on June 1 at Nottingham's Capital FM Arena and will take him around the country from London to Birmingham, before it comes to a close on June 29 with a performance in Dublin at the RDS Arena.
