How’s Rod Stewart Doing After Canceling His Tour Due to Heart Procedure: ‘F—ing Brilliant’

Rod Stewart, the renowned rock musician, is recovering well after canceling his North American farewell tour due to a heart procedure. The 75-year-old singer was recently spotted with his wife, Penny Lancaster, out and about in London, where he shared a positive update with The Daily Mail. Stewart remarked, "F—ing brilliant!" after seeing a show of Sinatra The Musical.

In addition to his recent outing, Stewart revealed he swam 400 meters recently, an impressive feat considering the recent challenges he's faced in his career. Earlier this year, he canceled a performance in June due to an acute upper respiratory infection and later underwent a coronary stent procedure, which prompted the cancellation of the remaining shows on his tour.

Doctors have expressed satisfaction with Stewart's recovery and stated that he is regaining his normal daily activities. The musician is expected to take a break from performing for the next four weeks to fully recuperate and regain his fitness before resuming his stage presence. Stewart has announced that he will embark on a final farewell tour from April to July 2027, with dates set accordingly.

Despite this announcement, Lancaster emphasized that her husband does not intend to retire from music entirely, revealing that he plans to continue touring until 2028, focusing on the Great American Songbook while still engaging in rock n' roll performances.
