Sir Rod Stewart says he has warned his teenage son to “keep it in your trousers” in order to avoid becoming a young dad.
The Maggie May and Sailing singer said that he was keen for his son not to follow in his footsteps.
Sir Rod became a father at the age of 17 when his daughter Sarah was born in 1963 to his teenage girlfriend Susan Boffey.

Now the 77-year-old is keen for his son Alastair, 16, to avoid the same fate.
Speaking on Australian TV, the legend was asked what his advice would be to his younger self.

The Sun reported that he replied: “Keep it in your trousers. I tell my son that because I had a child at seventeen.
“He’s sixteen, extraordinarily good looking, so ‘No babies, keep it in your trousers, No babies’.”
However, when asked whether he thinks Alastair is taking his advice on board, the singer – who has eight children with five different mothers – laughed and replied “no!”
Sir Rod continued: “I’m having the best time of my life. I’m loving life and my children are not embarrassed to be seen with me.
“It’s just the opposite. They say ‘Why don’t you come out with us’.
“My sons borrow my clothes. I didn’t do this with my dad because he was a plumber.”
Last month Sir Rod’s eldest son shared on social media that he was “hit by a truck at a red light”.

Sean Stewart, who is the rock superstar’s first son with his first wife Alana, posted a photograph to his Instagram story wearing a yellow neck brace, a hospital gown and a white face mask.
The 42-year-old captioned it: “I got hit by a truck at a red light. Hard out here on these streets.”
In December last year, Sir Rod and Sean pleaded guilty to battery in an assault case stemming from an altercation with a security guard at an exclusive Florida hotel on New Year’s Eve 2019.
The dispute involved security guard Jessie Dixon’s refusal to allow them into a private party at the hotel.
He said in court papers that Sir Rod punched him in the rib cage with a closed fist and Sean shoved him.
Stewart is a member of the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was knighted by the Queen in 2016.
He has four sons and four daughters and is currently married to Loose Women presenter Penny Lancaster.
