Rod Stewart has been accused of "putting people at risk" by his local council after he filled in the annoying potholes on an himself.
After the singer's actions over the weekend, Essex County Council is now urging people not to conduct their own DIY roadworks.
It comes after a video clip of Sir Rod Stewart went viral, where he could be seen fixing potholes near his home in Essex.
Taking matters into his own hands, Sir Rod and a clan of his pals got to work on the pothole-filled road over the weekend – making sure they videoed the whole thing and posted it online too.
Taking to Twitter and Instagram, Sir Rod penned: "Working for a living, filling holes is good for the soul," alongside the video of him donning a hi-vis vest with his group of pals.
The video garnered almost 90,000 likes, with hundreds of comments praising the star.
One person penned: "well done Rod, you’re brilliant!"
Another added: "Legend Rod! That road is a nightmare!!! Appreciate it."
A third person said: "Well said. I live in harlow and the roads are getting a joke with the amount of holes," and a fourth added: "Well done Rod . Can you do all the other sh*tty roads in Harlow too that have potholes xxxx."
While someone else joked: "Don't hurt yourself I got tickets to see you in June."
The singing superstar claimed that Sheering Lower Road, which is close to Rod's 46-acre Durrington House estate, is covered in potholes.
And as well as global superstar Sir Rod being incredibly annoyed by the potholes, a number of residents were also reportedly unable to drive through the road as a result of the damage.
The 77-year-old singer also noted that his Ferrari was unable to get through the road due to the damage.
He added in the video: "Nobody else could be bothered to do it [repair the road]".

The council, which looks after the maintenance and repair work for Essex roads, has said that people could put themselves at "risk" if they decided to take it upon themselves to fix up the roads.
They stated that safety measures should be adhered to, as well as "proper" traffic management. However, they added that they "appreciated" Sir Rod's "commitment and community spirit".
An Essex Highways spokesperson said: “While we would like to prioritise repairs to every road, the scale of our network – over 5,000 miles – means this is impossible and we have to focus on repairing defects likely to be most detrimental to the safety of our road users.
“While we appreciate Sir Rod’s commitment and community spirit, we discourage anyone from carrying out work on the roads themselves.
"Without proper traffic management and other specific safety measures, residents are putting themselves and others at risk.”
