Rod Stewart Cancels Six US Concerts Due to Flu Recovery and Vocal Rest

Sir Rod Stewart, aged 80, has cancelled six upcoming concerts in the United States due to ongoing recovery from the flu and being placed on vocal rest by his doctor. The cancelled shows include four performances in Nevada and two in California, originally scheduled over the next eight days. The legendary singer, currently on his ‘One Last Time Tour’, shared a message on Instagram expressing regret and apologizing to fans. Earlier this week, he had already canceled two Las Vegas shows at Caesars Palace, and his physician has advised him to continue resting. Despite health setbacks, Stewart remains committed to performing and is expected to headline the ‘legends’ slot at Glastonbury later this month. Recently, he received a lifetime achievement award at the American Music Awards and was seen in Italy avoiding conversation to preserve his voice, wearing a lanyard indicating he was on vocal rest. Though he has ruled out retirement, Stewart confirmed that his 2025 European and North American shows will mark the end of his large-scale world tours, with future performances expected in smaller, more intimate venues. The singer has faced serious health issues in the past, including thyroid and prostate cancer, both of which he overcame.
