Rod Stewart swore live on stage at the American Music Awards as his children joined him on stage in a surprise joint appearance on Monday night (26 May).

The 80-year-old singer was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by his five eldest children Kimberly Stewart, 45, Sean Stewart, 44, Ruby Stewart, 37, Renee Stewart, 32, and Liam McAlister Stewart, 30.

"I'm absolutely flabbergasted. I didn't know they were here - my children," Rod said on stage.

"I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you are here," he told his family.

The musician performed "Forever Young" after being presented with the trophy.
