Carmine Appice, originally drummer of the Iconic Heavy Metal rock group Vanilla Fudge, was later a close collaborator with Rod Stewart writing, recording and thrilling millions of fans all over the globe for over seven years. Rod was at the very top of his game in terms of chart success, and sheer numbers of tickets sold worldwide. Carmine was right by Rod's side during those most crucial years helping to write some of his biggest hits like “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Young Turks”. Rod has said of Carmine “He was in my band because I found him to be a brilliant drummer, and he wouldn’t have been there if he wasn’t special. People love characters in Rock N Roll, and Carmine was a real character. He still is!”

He has performed all over the world, mesmerizing crowds with his amazing vocals and high energy portrayal of Rod Stewart.
