Sir Rod Stewart Cancels US Concerts Due to Lingering Flu Symptoms: Promises to Reschedule
Sir Rod Stewart has expressed his disappointment at having to cancel a series of concerts in the US due to lingering flu symptoms. The affected shows were scheduled in Nevada and California, but he intends to reschedule them. The 80-year-old singer apologized to his fans on Instagram and assured them that he would return to the stage soon.
The legendary musician has been struggling to recover from the flu and had already called off two concerts in Las Vegas earlier in the week. Following his doctor's advice to get more rest, Sir Rod decided to cancel the upcoming shows. He is currently on his One Last Time Tour and is set to perform at Glastonbury later this month.
Despite facing health challenges in the past, including thyroid cancer in 2000 and successful treatment for prostate cancer in 2017, Sir Rod remains committed to his music career. He recently received a lifetime achievement award at the American Music Awards and plans to focus on smaller, more intimate venues after his 2025 European and North American shows.
The singer's dedication to his health and voice was evident when he was spotted in Italy wearing a lanyard that read, "Sorry. Cannot talk. Having vocal rest." Sir Rod has made it clear that he will not retire in 2024 but will conclude his large-scale world tours the following year. Despite the setbacks, he remains optimistic about his future performances and is grateful for the support of his fans.
