The Express revealed this week how the kind-hearted music star, 77, was renting a house in Berkshire, as well as paying all the bills for a family of seven who had fled the war. He has also given two other refugees jobs at his Essex mansion, as a gardener and a housekeeper, and has vowed to pay for even more homes for refugees.
Led Zeppelin star Jimmy, 78, said of Sir Rod: “That really is a generous gesture. It’s a nice thing for him to do and is a good idea. The situation in the Ukraine is heartbreaking.”
Queen drummer Roger, 73, added: “Damn good for him. Great for Rod. What a wonderful thing for him to do. I think if you can afford it, it is a wonderful gesture.”
The pair were talking in Denmark Street, Soho, at the launch of photo book Pattie Boyd: My Life in Pictures, about the former celebrity model.
Sir Rod provided support to Ukrainian couple Rostyslav and Olena and their five children, saying that after being knighted in 2016 he wanted to do more.
He has pledged to address the conflict on stage next month on his new UK tour.
