Rod Stewart postpones Las Vegas show citing health issues

Rod Stewart reschedules Las Vegas show due to illness, continuing his long residency.

"I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. - Rod Stewart"

Washington DC, June 3

Singer Rod Stewart called in sick just four hours before his show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

As per Deadline, the 80-year-old rock legend said in a post to his Instagram Story, "I am sorry to inform you that I'm not feeling well and my show tonight at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is being rescheduled to June 10. Your tickets will be valid for the new date."

The venue, Caesars, also confirmed the postponement of the show scheduled on Sunday.

According to Deadline, billed as "The Encore Shows," the series follows 200 performances in the Grammy winner's 13-year residency after he decided he didn't want to stop playing Caesars.

The current "Encore" run lasts through October 4.

In 2023, Stewart cancelled an Australian tour date six hours before the show, citing a viral infection that irritated his throat. His next Las Vegas show is scheduled for Thursday.

Last year, the singer also cancelled his concerts due to COVID.

The Ticket holders were informed to "hold on to their tickets as they will be honoured for the rescheduled shows.

"Rod's illness followed the singer missing the 200th show of his long-running Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace on when he cited strep throat as the reason for his absence.

At the time, he noted on Instagram, "Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I'm absolutely gutted. I've been looking forward to this concert for so long. My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused."

Rod is best known for singing memorable tracks such as 'I Don't Want To Talk About It', 'Downtown Train' and 'You're In My Heart' among several others.

Health comes first! At 80, Rod Stewart is still rocking shows - that's inspirational. Hope he recovers soon. His music was my gateway to Western rock when I was in college. "Maggie May" still gives me goosebumps!

Respect for being so professional even at this age! Many Indian artists could learn from his work ethic. Though I wonder - shouldn't he consider reducing his performance schedule? Health is wealth after all 🤔

My father is a huge fan! We bonded over Rod Stewart songs during lockdown. It's amazing how his music connects generations. Wishing him speedy recovery - the show must go on! 🎸

I understand fans' disappointment but health issues at 80 are serious. Maybe it's time for him to retire gracefully rather than pushing himself. His legacy is already cemented in music history.

Saw him perform in Mumbai years ago - what energy! But now I worry about these frequent cancellations. Organizers should consider shorter sets or more breaks between shows. Still love his music though!

His voice defined an era! But at this age, frequent illnesses are expected. Maybe he should record more studio albums instead of live shows. "Forever Young" was our wedding song - such timeless music! ❤️
