Rod Stewart to receive Lifetime Achievement Award

Sir Rod Stewart is set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs).

The ‘Maggie May’ hitmaker – who will play the world-famous Glastonbury Festival’s Sunday afternoon legends slot in June – will collect the accolade and perform one of his “timeless classics” at the bash.

A statement from executive producers Barry Adelman, EVP, Television, and Alexi Mazareas, SVP, Programming and Development, Dick Clark Productions read: “Sir Rod Stewart is a master showman whose charisma and energy have defied time and embody the very spirit of rock and roll.

“We are looking forward to another epic performance on the AMAs stage as well as celebrating his incredible body of work when he receives the Lifetime Achievement Award.”

It will mark Rod’s first performance at the AMAs since 2004.

Rod has sold more than 120 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Elsewhere, Janet Jackson will be bestowed with the Icon Award.

As well as being honoured with the prize in recognition of her “undeniable cultural and global influence,” Janet will be taking to the stage at the ceremony on May 26 – in what marks her first TV performance in seven years.

The 58-year-old music star reacted on Instagram: “Thank you so much, AMAs!! It’s an honor. We look forward to being on your stage again. See you in Vegas! (sic)”

The ‘Rhythm Nation’ hitmaker follows in the footsteps of the likes of Rihanna and Lionel Richie.

The 2025 AMAs take place at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas and will be hosted by Jennifer Lopez.

Kendrick Lamar dominated the nominations with 10.
