Penny Lancaster beams ‘happy memories’ as she shares upbeat update amid ongoing Rod Stewart health woes

In the update, Stewart can be seen crouching down alongside eldest son Sean while the rest of his brood and their partners pose behind him.

Lancaster joined the clan for the family update alongside her two children, Alastair and Aiden Patrick as she sported an eye-popping red dress.

Proving the evening was a success and all is well in the Stewart camp, Lancaster reposted the image from Artukovich Stewart’s page with the caption: “Happy memories.”

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Dr Chun Tang, GP and Medical Director at Pall Mall Medical, delved into why a stage return so soon may not be the best idea for Stewart.

When asked how strep can affect a singer’s voice, he said: “Strep throat directly affects a singer’s voice by causing significant inflammation and pain in the throat, which can extend to the vocal cords.

The pain and redness can also make it uncomfortable to sing, potentially causing a singer to unconsciously adjust their technique in ways that could further strain their voice.”

Dr Tang went on to explain that sufferers “need to rest your voice completely for at least a week” and that “even if you start feeling better sooner, I’d suggest continuing to rest your voice for an extra few days”.

But with the 79-year-old plotting his stage return a little over a week after sharing his health news, Dr Tang had some words of warning.

“Ignoring recovery and treatment advice can have a serious impact. If you keep singing with an inflamed voice you could be heading for chronic damage, such as the development of vocal nodules or scarring.
