British music icon Sir Rod Stewart has been helping to fill potholes in his local town of Harlow, Essex.
The 77-year-old can be seen singing as he works alongside labourers laying down fresh gravel to get the road in a more decent condition. As he mentions in the second video, "[his] Ferrari can't go down here at all."

Stewart moved to Los Angeles in 1975 and lived there up until 2014, when he moved back so his youngest children could receive a British education.
Now though, the North London boy of Scottish heritage has been back for the better part of 10 years and looks like he's getting swept up in the community spirit.
