Sir Rod Stewart was booed at a concert in Germany for showing support for Ukraine by dedicating a song to the country and insulting Vladimir Putin. The audience reacted with loud boos and whistles as images of the war and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were displayed. Stewart has been vocal in his support for Ukraine, even renting a home for Ukrainian refugees in Britain.
