Rod Stewart Tickets On Sale January 12, 2007

Rod Stewart will kick off a 56-city North American tour January 12, 2007 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in support of his most recent covers effort, "Still the Same... Great Rock Classics of Our Time." The concert tour features Stewart and his nine-piece band performing on a rotating, round stage. Tickets go on sale starting on Saturday (Nov. 11) at 10 a.m.

The entertainer will likely draw only a handful of songs from "Still the Same," and leave tracks from his four volumes of the successful "Great American Songbook" series behind.

"We're not going to be doing the Songbook on this tour," he told Billboard.com in September. "If ['Still the Same'] is half as successful as those were, we'll bring in five or six of these songs straightaway on tour." He also plans on incorporating hits from his earlier rock albums, like "Blondes Have More Fun" and "Downtown Train."

"Still the Same," released Oct. 10, became the 61-year-old singer's fourth No. 1 album, moving 184,000 copies in its first week.
