Last week Rod and his brood brood sent out a message while in lockdown at the star’s Florida pad, praising the NHS and frontline staff risking their lives here in the UK.
He said: “Our family want to say a huge thank you to everyone working in the NHS as well as to all the health care workers and emergency services that are helping keep Britain’s families safe in these extremely difficult times.”
Rod is the latest celebrity to do his bit for the fight against Covid-19, with a raft of famous faces using social media keep fans inspired, entertained and educated.
