Rod Stewart cancels Cincinnati concert due to 'minor medical procedure'

Pop icon Rod Stewart has abruptly canceled a scheduled concert in Cincinnati, Ohio, citing a "minor medical procedure." The Riverbend Music Center announced the cancellation on the day of the planned performance, stating that the 81-year-old British singer would not be able to appear.

According to the venue's statement, the procedure was "unforeseen but minor." Officials expressed confidence in Stewart's swift recovery, adding, "He looks forward to returning to Cincinnati." The singer himself has not provided further details about the medical intervention on his social media channels.

Stewart's current "One Last Time" tour has several more U.S. dates scheduled through mid-September, with appearances also planned in Mexico. This latest cancellation follows a pattern of health-related postponements and cancellations in recent months. In mid-June, Stewart had to pause a performance in Utah to receive oxygen, an incident captured on video by TMZ that showed the singer appearing weakened and leaning on his microphone stand.

Despite these health setbacks, Stewart, known for hits like "Forever Young," "Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?," and "Maggie May," has continued with his touring schedule. Fans are awaiting further updates on his condition and the rescheduling of the Cincinnati show.
