Rock legend Rod Stewart has turned his back on “toxic” Los Angeles and has moved back to England for good, according to a new media report.
The 78-year-old was born in the UK.
He just put his massive Beverly Hills mansion on the market for a staggering $70 million.
He said he will not be buying another home in LA because he has no plans to return to California.
According to insiders, Stewart says he hates the “toxic” culture in Los Angeles.
He feels like he has “no privacy” so he has chosen to return full-time to his home in the UK.
Stweart also wants to support his wife Penny and their sons, who prefer living in England.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Penny loves the life she has made away from America and away from LA.
“She enjoys nothing more than working for the police force.
“She also finds traveling to be more of a nuisance than anything and wants to just live her life as a working mom.
“Besides, her and Rod’s boys are in no way wanting to leave their school and friends in the UK to come over to America.”
