ROD STEWART, the 80-year-old rock icon, has canceled his next six concerts due to a severe case of the flu, leaving fans disappointed and raising concerns about his health. The iconic singer, known for hits like ‘Maggie May’ and ‘Forever Young,’ has been battling the illness, which has forced him to reschedule several performances.
Stewart took to Instagram to apologize to his fans, stating, ‘I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu.’ His message emphasized his devastation over the situation, with the star expressing his deep regret over the cancellations, particularly for those eagerly awaiting his performances. He assured fans that he would return to the stage soon, reinforcing his commitment to his audience.
The cancellations have sparked discussions about his current health, especially as he is scheduled to perform at the Glastonbury Festival later this month. Stewart, who previously announced his intention to headline the festival in 2025, has faced speculation about his readiness for the event. His recent performances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace were also affected by the flu, with the star citing doctor’s orders as the reason for postponing his shows. Fans have been left waiting anxiously, hoping for updates on his condition and his return to the stage.
Stewart has been stepping back from large-scale world tours, as he revealed late last year. Despite this change, he remains passionate about his music career, stating, ‘I have no desire to retire.’ His latest health issues have added to the uncertainty surrounding his schedule, but he remains optimistic about his future performances. Fans continue to look forward to seeing Stewart back on stage, eager to experience his legendary performances once again.
