Rod Stewart, 79, in marriage 'stalemate' after abandoning plans to move from LA back to the UK

The veteran British rocker, 79, promised Lancaster, 53, they would pack up their lives in Los Angeles for their sprawling $5.8 million countryside estate in Harlow, Essex after he revealed it was 'time to leave' the US last year. But DailyMail.com has learned the pair are now at a 'stalemate,' with Stewart refusing to leave LA and a furious Lancaster refusing to stay.
