Stewart rocked the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show with a cover of Bonnie Tyler\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s a Heartache,\u201d and that husky voice sounded just as iconic as ever. The English star brought an acoustic band to add a folky touch to the classic hit, and the song was just made for his voice. Things got a bit spicy halfway through when Stewart spontaneously beckoned Bubl\u00e9 over from his seat in the studio to come up and sing.<\/p>\n<p>Bubl\u00e9 looked slightly terrified at the prospect of an unrehearsed live jam with the famous rocker, but did his best to add a backing vocal. After a hug with Stewart, the King of Christmas settled into the vibe and added his golden voice in duet with the English rock legend. It won\u2019t surprise The Music Man readers to hear Bubl\u00e9\u2019s smooth tenor was the perfect counterpoint to Stewart\u2019s husky voice, making for a very special duet. Stewart also seemed to get a real kick out of roping Bubl\u00e9 in as a backing vocalist.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rod Stewart &amp; Michael Bubl\u00e9 - It's A Heartache\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0ToJGAnGSEA\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><ins id=\"982a9496-49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f-4-4244\" class=\"982a9496\" data-key=\"49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f\"><ins id=\"982a9496-49f71f0febff2a6f4b95c9822efdee2f-4-4244-1\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"dieroseinforinread-NtCBitRCpt\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>Stewart and Bubl\u00e9\u2019s surprise duet went down a treat on the BBC Music YouTube channel, where viewers tuned in nearly seven million times. Fans enjoyed seeing the two hitmakers sing together and added comments such as \u201cMichael looks so humble with the great Rod Stewart! Respect\u201d and \u201cRod Stewart is the greatest of all time! Michael Bubl\u00e9 is absolutely amazing too. Love them both. If they were to ever tour together I\u2019d definitely be there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart is the real master of the live stage, and another memorable duet from the English rocker came when he sang \u201cI Don\u2019t Want to Talk About It\u201d with Scottish singer Amy Belle. Her powerful voice really stole the show, and when Stewart uploaded the Royal Albert Hall duet, it blew up to one billion views on YouTube! The combination of the full orchestra and the crowd singalong in the bridge also made for a really magical performance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Don't Want To Talk About It (from One Night Only!

Bonnie Tyler subsequently released the song on November 4, 1977. The Music Man readers might be interested to hear that the Welsh singer recorded the song shortly after surgery to remove nodules from her vocal folds, resulting in a particularly husky vocal performance.<br \/>\nIt seems that this vocal approach worked for Tyler, as \u201cIt\u2019s a Heartache\u201d went to number one across much of Europe, as well as in Australia and Canada. The husky vocals of the song also made it a natural fit for a cover from Sir Rod Stewart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Bubl\u00e9 crashed Sir Rod Stewart\u2019s live radio session, and things got a bit chaotic!
