Watch Rod Stewart's controversial performance on Strictly Come Dancing

Just last night Rod Stewart, 73, took to the stage on the UK's 'Strictly Come Dancing' to perform 'Farewell' off his new album Blood Red Roses.

Rod performed in front of a live orchestra in a pub setting, with dancers twirling around him.

While the live studio audience seemed to love the rocker's performance, the reactions online and on social media were quite mixed.

Take a look at the performance here:

One fan wrote: “Lovely to watch and listen to!” but unfortunately all the responses didn't contain that sort of positivity.

A few were underwhelmed, saying: “I love Rod but not sure about this one.”
