Sir Rod Stewart has decided to halt the remaining dates of his "One Last Time" farewell tour after undergoing a successful coronary stent procedure, according to a representative for the 81-year-old singer. The announcement comes following the cancellation of multiple performances, including a Tuesday night show in Cleveland and a Sunday concert in Cincinnati, both of which were postponed or canceled due to a minor medical issue requiring immediate attention.

Stewart's publicist revealed that after a thorough medical examination, the singer is recovering well and has resumed his regular daily activities. However, doctors have advised him to take a break from performing for the next four weeks to fully recuperate and regain his fitness. This decision means that Stewart will not be able to complete his current North American tour schedule, which was set to conclude on September 3, including his residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and several shows in Mexico.

In a statement, Stewart expressed gratitude towards his medical team for their care and apologized to his fans for missing these shows. Despite his disappointment, he remains optimistic about returning to the stage soon and looks forward to reconnecting with his audience.
