Rod Stewart Concert in Cincinnati Postponed At Last Minute Due to ‘Minor Medical Procedure’
During a June 19 stop on his summer tour Stewart, 81, was forced to pause the show after nearly fainting onstage, requiring supplemental oxygen to assist with breathing.
Rod Stewart has canceled his Cincinnati show at Riverbend Music Center due to a minor medical procedure that required immediate attention. The 81-year-old rock legend's performance was postponed, with a statement from Riverbend noting that rescheduling is underway. The venue assured ticket holders that previously purchased tickets would be honored for the rescheduled date.
This is not the first time Stewart has faced setbacks during his tour; he recently had to pause a show in Utah due to visible discomfort and appeared to struggle with breathing, requiring an oxygen tank. Stewart has also canceled a San Diego show due to an acute upper respiratory infection, only to later appear at a World Cup match in Boston.
Despite these challenges, it is expected that Stewart will make a quick recovery and return to Cincinnati. His next scheduled tour date is Tuesday at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
