Rod Stewart Cancels North American Farewell Tour After Heart Procedure: ‘Deeply Disappointed to Miss These Shows’
The 81-year-old singer has assured fans that he is “already feeling better and very much on the mend”.
Rod Stewart has abruptly canceled the remainder of his North American farewell tour following a minor heart procedure. The 81-year-old rock legend, known for hits like "Maggie May" and "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?", was preparing to perform in Ohio and across the U.S. and Mexico when he opted out at the last minute. His representatives confirmed in a statement to Rolling Stone that Stewart is "doing well" but will take a four-week break to recuperate before returning to the stage.
While fans are disappointed by the cancellation, Stewart expressed his own disappointment in a social media post, vowing to return to live performances in the future. The singer has been on the road for over six decades, both as a solo artist and as part of British rock bands the Faces and Jeff Beck Group.
