The post included many photos of Stewart performing on stage over the years, as well as a few moments of prestigious accomplishments, such as when he was knighted in 2016.
But one photo puts his large family center stage, with Stewart looking suave in a lilac suit at his son Liam's wedding in June 2024. Included in the photo were all of Stewart's children, with Sarah, Kimberly, Sean, Ruby, Renee, Alastair Wallace and Aiden Patrick joining their father for Liam's big day.
Stewart's wife, Penny Lancaster, was also there, along with his ex-wife, Rachel Hunter, Liam's mother. The two were married from 1990 to 2006 and share two children, Liam and Renee.
The "Maggie May" singer's grandkids were in the photo too, such as Liam and now-wife Nicole's son, Louie, whom she was holding in the photo.
Recently, Stewart and six of his eight kids enjoyed a fun vacation in the Mediterranean ahead of his birthday, with the singer sharing snaps from the trip on social media.
