Young Melton man's chance meeting with rock star Rod Stewart
A young Melton man has been talking about spending time with rock superstar, Rod Stewart, during a trip to London.
Cormac Boylan, who has become well known in the area for buying Rolls Royce and Bentley cars in his early 20s, met the singing icon on a visit to The Ritz in glitzy Mayfair.
Rod was at a party there with wife Penny Lancaster and footballing pal, Kenny Dalglish.
Cormac, who was wearing a striking black and red suit with hearts on, said: “I could see Rod Stewart sitting on the table next to me and my phone rang so I went into the hotel’s grand entrance to take the call.
"As I finished my call, Rod and his wife were coming out.
"Rod approached me and asked me where I bought my suit from as he was very impressed by it.
“We had a chat for about 10 minutes after the party.
“I asked him for a picture and he obliged but said only if I told him where my suit came from so I did.
"I had a picture with Rod which Penny took on my phone and she then asked if I could take one of them together with their family.”
Cormac, a local radio DJ and motoring journalist said Rod also talked about their shared loved for classic cars – his Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked outside the hotel.
The Melton man enjoyed spending the weekend at another iconic London hotel, The Savoy, in The Strand.
Cormac bought his first Rolls-Royce at the age of 20 and his first Bentley two years later.
