“My Ferrari Can’t Go Through,” he jokingly said, which is the least relatable thing ever.

Many of us can agree that potholes are inconvenient. The car, the driver, and the pedestrians were walking calmly on a rainy day only to get splashed by a car driving into a water-filled pit.

What's more irritating is the indifference the authorities are displaying when it comes to the local roads, which, as a result, continue to resemble the moon's surface. Sir Rod Stewart, the rock and roll legend, is one of several who has grown tired of the run-down roads near his house in Essex, England.

So he enlisted the help of some pals, dressed in sweatpants and neon sneakers, and took a shovel to take matters into his own hands. With over 250 million albums sold worldwide, many consider him to be one of the greatest rock 'n' roll vocalists of all time.

In the United Kingdom, he has ten number one albums and 26 Top-10 singles, as well as 17 Top-10 albums and 16 Top-10 singles in the United States. He's a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the United States, and the Queen knighted him in 2016. 'Gasoline Alley,' 'Tonight's the Night,' 'Hot Legs,' 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?' 'Maggie May,' and many others are among his hits.

But this time, he traded his mic for a shovel.

Sir Rod Stewart Is a brief biography of the man who gave up his microphone in favor of a shovel in order to fill potholes.

"No one else would bother," Rod adds as he shovels gravel onto the road.

Someone had to do something...

“We are filling the holes while millions and millions of pounds have been spent on the M11, right over there,” he says

“People are bashing their cars up. The other day, there was an ambulance with a burst tire," he added

The video has received excellent feedback, with many people praising the rock star, however Essex Highways does not recommend that others do so for safety reasons.

Rod was a gravedigger before becoming a famous rock artist, according to legend, which connects the two experiences in an odd way. However, this is not entirely true.

He did work at the cemetery, but the job was mostly marking plots and performing various other manual tasks.

Watch the video here:

Rod and his neighbors can now enjoy smooth, pot-free roads while "going home, running home, down to Gasoline Alley where I came from."

People are not only thanking Rod for his good act, but also condemning the council's lack of concern

Well done indeed

Should we all start fixing our local roads?

You cant drive bicycles on roads like these

Thanks, Rod

Brilliant example

One Redditor lost a friend due to a pothole

Respect

Unfortunately, we wouldn't be surprised if the council used him as a scapegoat.

Some Redditors even requested Rod to visit their cities to help with pothole problems.

It would be appreciated...

Sir Rod Stewart is no stranger to manual labor. Some noticed a similarity between Rod's earlier experiences as a gravedigger and this story. 

However, even though he had worked at the cemetery, his duties mostly revolved around marking plots and performing other manual activities. There was minimal grave digging involved.
