Sir Rod Stewart has helped rescue 16 Ukrainian refugees amid the ongoing war with Russia.
The 77-year-old sent his nephews out to the border to pick up fleeing families after being left heartbroken by their situation.
Warren and Gavin Cady joined six other volunteers before bringing them to safety in Berlin.
The group were aided by UK-based charity GeeWizz who helped with logistics of the trip.
Rod posted about his mission on social media, later explaining to the Daily Record what the three-and-a-half day journey entailed.
He shared: "I sponsored four trucks driven by my nephews and my chauffeur and a few other gentleman.
"They drove through France, Belgium, Germany and into Poland, dropped off supplies and picked up refugees and dropped them in Berlin.
"It took them three-and-a-half days to get there and back. They are the heroes, not me."
Rod's nephew Warren praised him for backing the aid convoy.
He told the publication: "I was watching the news and was brought to tears. The next morning I went into Uncle Rod's office and said I wanted to go to Ukraine.
"He was a bit shocked as he feared for my safety, knowing I have two children. But when I insisted I was going, he said he would sponsor the whole trip – paying for petrol, vehicles, the lot.
"He gave me the time off from work, too. He basically covered all the financial stuff. Rod is deeply distressed by what is going on in Ukraine. It’s brought him to tears.
"Helping out, to him, is more than donating money and getting publicity."
Rod's mission was revealed on Virgin Radio Breakfast Show by presenter Chris Evans.
Chris got emotional as he told listeners about Rod and his family's efforts to help the stricken Ukrainians.
He said: "I've just found all this out now. Isn't that just great?
"It's very moving. I haven't heard Rod Stewart talking about that at all."
Listeners were equally impressed with the singer's efforts and took to social media to praise him.
