Over the weekend, the "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" singer shared a video to social media where he takes matters into his own hands to fix the potholes near his Essex home. Stewart, 77, shared two videos to Instagram of himself — wearing a construction vest with an Adidas tracksuit — and a crew repairing the potholes outside. He captioned the post, "Working for a living, filling holes is good for the soul! 🕳 😇." In the first video, the "Maggie May" singer is seen shoveling as he says, "I'm repairing the street where I live, because no one can be bothered to do it." In the next video, he demonstrates the numerous potholes and detailed his reasoning for taking matters into his own hands. "The other day there was an ambulance with a burst tire," he says in the video. "My Ferrari can't get through here at all, so me and the boys thought we'd come and do it ourselves."

"You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems." The singer shared, "For instance, my 15-year-old is dating girls, so I had to give him a sex lesson. I just told him what he should and shouldn't do, but he's on top of it. He was like, 'Dad, I've got the internet. I know everything.' " The musician added, "All the [older] kids went through their little bad period of drinking too much and dabbling in drugs — except for Liam; I don't think he ever did — but they all came out on the other side. As a dad, I've learned to listen and not blow my top." Close
