The 67-year-old 'Maggie May' hitmaker's holiday album Merry Christmas, Baby is already a big hit around the globe and now Stewart is eyeing to top the singles chart, reported Daily Star online.

'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' will be released on December 9 and a portion of the proceeds will go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust, an organisation supported by the star's favourite Scottish football team Celtic's charity fund.

"I live a blessed and wonderful life and this Christmas it means a lot to me to be able to do something that can help young people with cancer.

"I really admire the work done by Teenage Cancer Trust and I'm happy that Celtic Football Club's charity fund will help raise money for such a worthwhile cause," Stewart said.

 

Rocker Roger Daltrey, patron of the charity, said, "I've worked with Teenage Cancer Trust for years and it's a cause I'm really passionate about - they do incredibly important work helping young people with cancer.

"Rod and I have a passion for football and music in common, it's great to see him involved with the Teenage Cancer Trust."
