Sir Rod Stewart will celebrate 50 years of music with a special new greatest hits compilation with a twist.

You're In My Heart: Rod Stewart with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will feature classic vocal tracks from Rod's greatest songs, with new arrangements performed by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Not only that, but the album will include a new version of 'It Takes Two' featuring Robbie Williams, and a brand-new song titled 'Stop Loving Her Today'.

The album will be released November 22 in two editions. Produced by Trevor Horn, it features hits including 'Sailing', 'I Don't Want to Talk About It' and 'Maggie May'.
