SIR Rod Stewart’s assault case is “very close” to being resolved outside court, a US judge has been told.

The musician, 75, and his son Sean, 40, have been charged with simple battery following an alleged incident involving security guard Jesse Dixon at a luxury hotel in Palm Beach, Florida on New Year’s Eve.

Both men pleaded not guilty.

At a pre-trial hearing, Guy Fronstin, who is representing both Sir Rod and Sean, asked to be given more time for the case to be settled.

He added: “We are very close to resolution.

“We are just not quite there yet.

“So if your honour would give us one more continuance, I think we will have it resolved by then.”

Judge August Bonavita agreed for another pre-trial hearing date to be set for January 29.
