Rod Stewart Says '51st State My F—--g Ass!' at Toronto Concert
The British rocker took the stage earlier this week at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage and expressed words of encouragement for the nation.
Rod Stewart doesn’t mince words.
The British rocker’s Budweiser Stage performance on Tuesday (July 22) was one of this week’s can't-miss Canadian concerts.
That night, a now-viral moment from the show was posted on TikTok. The fan-shot footage captured the “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” singer bluntly telling the crowd, "51st state my f—--g ass!"
Pumping his fist, he added: "Go on, Canada!"

During the concert, Sir Rod dedicated his "Forever Young" performance to the late Ozzy Osbourne after paying tribute to the Prince of Darkness on Instagram, who passed away earlier in the day.
Stewart's Toronto performance on his One Last Stop Tour with special guests Cheap Trick marks the former’s return to the city — and Budweiser Stage — in three years. In June, he cancelled several U.S. dates due to illness.
At the beginning of the month, Stewart took the main stage of Quebec City’s Festival d’été Quebec (FEQ), performing a set full of iconic hits. It's clear, he's a big fan of Canada.
