Currently on an arena tour supporting his new album, Still The Same...Great Rock Classics Of Our Time, Stewart's first rock album in over 8 years, Stewart earned the accolade by surpassing 230,000 in career attendance including 10 sellouts at Palace Sports & Entertainment venues. One of The Palace's first concert performers when he made his debut appearance during a two-night stand shortly after the arena opened in 1988, Stewart joins such musical luminaries as Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Barenaked Ladies, Kid Rock, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith as recipients of the Platinum Ticket award.
