British singer Rod Stewart has cancelled the remaining dates of his 2026 US tour after undergoing heart surgery, according to PA Media/dpa. The 81-year-old musician announced on Instagram that he would take a four-week break to recover following a coronary stent procedure. Stewart expressed gratitude to the medical staff for their care and apologized to his fans for missing the upcoming shows, stating he looks forward to returning to the stage soon.
The singer was scheduled to perform across Ohio, Illinois, and Mexico, as well as at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for six nights. His representatives stated that he was recovering well and returning to normal activities under medical advice. Stewart previously postponed shows in Cincinnati and Cleveland due to medical concerns, with the Cleveland performance later cancelled.
Health issues had led to the cancellation and rescheduling of shows in May and June, including a sinus infection and a respiratory infection that caused laryngitis. Stewart recently welcomed his sixth grandchild, son Levi, born to his daughter Ruby.
