British pop star Rod Stewart and his son pleaded guilty to battery over an altercation with a Florida security guard, prosecutors said Friday, but neither face jail time or any fines. The 76-year-old singer of Maggie May and numerous other hit songs was accused of punching a hotel guard outside a children’s party at The Breakers, a luxury hotel in Palm Beach, on New Year’s Eve 2019. The incident reportedly occurred when Stewart, his adult son Sean and other family members including children were refused access to a party in the children’s section of the resort. The singer — recognisable by his hoarse voice and mop of blond hair — pleaded guilty Monday to simple battery, a minor offense which is generally punishable by a fine.
