Rod Stewart ‘booed’ in Germany after showing images of Ukraine flag and president

"Rod Stewart appeared to be booed in Germany following his gig showing an image of the Ukraine flag and the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.

The London-born singer, 79, has been outspoken in his support for Ukraine and supported a family of seven refugees fleeing Russia’s invasion by helping them with lodging and bills. Rod has previously used the 1991 hit Rhythm Of My Heart, which he has described as a war song, throughout his tours as a dedication to Ukraine.
Before performing the track at Leipzig’s Quarterback Immobilien Arena on Friday, he displayed the flag of Ukraine on a projector behind him while wearing a blue sparkly jacket according to clips on X/Twitter. The stage then displayed an image of Mr. Zelensky on a big screen, while loud boos, shouts and whistles could be heard in videos posted on social media." MS
