Rod Stewart has been a star for a very long time now. But his life wasn’t always glamorous. Before he hit it big and won Grammy Awards and became knighted, he held several different jobs. Growing up he had two passions: soccer and singing. He was good at one and not so good at the other. He tried out for the Brentford F.C. football club but never got a call back so he turned to singing. But before he was successful doing that he got a job at a screen printing shop for a while.

However when he looks back over his life the most embarrassing job that he ever had was probably the time that he dug graves. That’s right Rod Stewart was a gravedigger and I’m not talking about the 4×4 monster truck.

The now 71-year-old singer/songwriter dropped out of school at the age of 15 and he went on to become one of the best-selling musicians of all time. His resume includes over 100 million records sold throughout the world, six straight #1 albums in the United Kingdom and he also had a total of 62 hit singles released over there. Overall six of his songs reached #1 in the UK and he also had four #1 hits here in the United States.
