Born January 10, 1945, London, England. Not necessarily the most notorious, but arguably the most retold of rock's urban legends, this one has been around for decades and has been attributed to just about every performer. However the original legend, as heard back in the early 70s, involves Rod Stewart.
Stewart reportedly collapsed at a party and was subsequently taken to the emergency room of a hospital, where upon pumping his stomach a gallon of semen was extracted. The amount varies from story to story. Some outlandish versions claim that whale sperm was discovered in his stomach.
Many others have been the focal point of this legend over the years, including Richard Gere, Mick Jagger, Elton John, David Bowie, members of New Kids on the Block, and most recently Alanis Morisette, who is supposedly addicted to semen.
