Rod Stewart Cancels More Concerts After Heart Stent Procedure: ‘Sorry to Let My Fans Down’

Sir Rod Stewart has shared an update regarding his recent heart procedure and the subsequent cancellation of upcoming concerts. The renowned singer underwent a routine coronary stent procedure and is currently on the mend, as stated in a recent statement. Doctors are pleased with his recovery and confirm that he is doing well, returning to his normal daily activities.

Regrettably, Stewart will need to take a four-week break from touring before resuming his performance schedule. This decision was made at the advice of his doctors, who want him to regain full fitness before getting back on stage. The statement also includes a quote from Stewart, who expressed his gratitude to the medical staff and apologized for disappointing his fans.

He stated, "I’m already feeling better. I want to thank doctors, nurses, and everyone who has taken such wonderful care of me. I’m deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon."

The announcement follows the postponement of Stewart's shows in Cincinnati and Cleveland due to minor medical procedures. His August 9 performance at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati was postponed, and his August 11 show at Cleveland's Rocket Arena was canceled. Stewart's One Last Time Tour, which had been scheduled to continue with performances in Des Moines, Kansas City, and Las Vegas, as well as his North American tour beginning on September 1, will now be postponed.

Stewart's upcoming shows have been affected, but the promoters and venues are working on addressing information regarding the canceled dates. Fans are advised to stay tuned for updates from their respective promoters and venues.
